Easy baked beans with ground beef are the best Southern-style BBQ side dish. Spice up canned baked beans with ground beef, onion, and spices and simmer in the slow cooker for a hands-free potluck recipe. No one will ever know these aren’t homemade!
In a large skillet or dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and onion and saute.
Continue to cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are translucent (about 5 minutes).
In the pot of a slow cooker, add the cans of beans, chili powder, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir to combine.
Cook on low for about 2-3 hours or until warmed through.
Serve hot.
Notes
Using a multi-cooker: turn the unit to the “sauté” function to brown the beef and sauté the onion. Then, switch the unit to “slow cook” before adding the remaining ingredients.
Using a dutch oven: brown the ground beef and chopped onion, then add in remaining ingredients. Simmer for 2-3 hours.
