Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Beef and Baked Beans
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Ground beef | 1 pound |
| Baked beans | 2 (28-ounce) cans |
| Yellow onion, finely chopped | 1 medium |
| Barbecue sauce | 1/2 cup |
| Yellow mustard | 1 tablespoon |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Prep slow cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker insert for easier cleanup. Place the raw ground beef at the bottom and break it up slightly with a spoon.
-
Add ingredients: Scatter the finely chopped onion over the ground beef. Pour in both cans of baked beans, then add the barbecue sauce and yellow mustard.
-
Combine: Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly so the ground beef, onions, and sauces are evenly mixed throughout the beans.
-
Slow cook: Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 5 to 6 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours (stirring once or twice during cooking if convenient) until the beef is fully cooked through and the sauce is hot and thickened.
-
Adjust and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if desired, then ladle into warm bowls and serve hot.
