Ingredients

• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard powder
• 2 pinches cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons dry mesquite flavored seasoning mix
• 0.25 cup molasses

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Cook ground beef, onion, and mesquite seasoning in a large skillet over medium heat until beef is no longer pink, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, about 10 minutes. Drain excess grease; transfer beef into a large baking dish.

Step 3

Stir in baked beans, molasses, brown sugar, barbeque sauce, dry mustard powder, and cayenne pepper until any small lumps of brown sugar have dissolved.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until beans are bubbling and the flavors have blended, about 20 minutes.
