Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with baked beans, barbecue sauce, ketchup, mustard, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until bubbling and slightly thickened.
Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
If you prefer a spicier dish, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
For added flavor, try topping the beans with shredded cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.
