Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
½ large onion {chopped}
2 cloves garlic {minced}
½ pound lean ground beef {I used 93% lean}
3 cans pork and beans {16 ounces each}
½ cup ketchup
½ cup brown sugar {packed}
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoon yellow mustard

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°.
In a heavy bottom pan {that is oven safe} or Dutch oven, over medium heat add olive oil and cook onion until it is translucent {or soft}. Add ground beef and garlic, continue to cook over medium heat until browned.
While the ground beef is browning, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar and mustard, whisk to combine. Add mixture and pork and beans to the onion/ground beef and stir to combine.
Place the Dutch oven in the preheated oven, uncovered for 45-50 minutes. Remove and serve warm. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Once completely cooled to room temperature, leftover baked beans can be stored in an airtight container or covered with aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Baked beans with ground beef can also be frozen in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months.
