You can serve these as a side dish or even turn them into your main meal by adding cooked meat like pulled pork or chicken. So let’s get cooking!

📝 Ingredients

For this meaty bean side dish, you need the following ingredients:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 16-ounce package of bacon
  • ½  cup chopped onion
  • 16 ounces Dark Red Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
  • 16 ounces Pinto Beans, drained and rinsed

👩🏻‍🍳 How To Make BBQ Baked Beans With Ground Beef

Start by cooking bacon. If you have a large, oven-proof skillet, you can make this a one-dish side-dish (or meal). Remove the bacon and drain it on paper towels. In the same skillet, cook the onions and ground beef until the beef is no longer pink.

Next, brown a pound of ground beef along with ½ cup of chopped onion.

Once the beef has cooked, add the bacon back to the pan and add 3 cans of beans (Pinto, Kidney, and Butter Bean – though you can probably use just about any kind of canned bean that you like), barbecue sauce, and a little bit of water.
