Cowboy Beans Recipe
A hearty and flavor-packed dish that combines sweet, tangy, and smoky elements, perfect for summer barbecues or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Ground Beef
- 1.5 cups Diced Onion
- 2 28 oz cans Vegetarian Beans
- 1 cup Ketchup
- ⅓ cup Brown Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Yellow Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Instructions
- In a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it's no longer pink. Use a slotted spoon to remove the beef and set it aside.
- Add the diced onions to the same skillet and cook for 5 minutes until they become translucent. Turn off the heat and return the beef to the skillet.
- Stir in the Vegetarian Beans, ketchup, brown sugar, mustard, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until the ingredients are well combined.
- Lightly coat the slow cooker with spray or use a liner. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 3-4 hours until hot.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to avoid excess grease, sweet onions for balance, and adjust sweetness with brown sugar.
- Check thickness before the last hour of cooking and adjust with water or beef broth as needed.
