Hamburger Baked Beans

This past weekend my parents came to visit me out in the Nation’s Capital.  I decided to barbecue and my Mom made the sides.  She made these amazing baked beans with bacon, onions and ground beef.  I had to get the recipe as they were delicious.

  1. Are you kidding me? “Mom’s baked beans”? You just don’t get better than mom’s baked beans. I like the addition of ground beef to the dish. I usually add pulled pork but EVERYONE does that so the beef is a nice touch.

    1. I enjoy pulled pork in my beans too, but when you are Barbecuing it is hard to serve the freshly smoked meat if you have to wait for the beans to cook. So the hamburger is a great addition. Plus the layer of smoked bacon on top. Delicious!

  2. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something. I feel that you just could do with a few percent to power the message home a little bit, however instead of that, that is excellent blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
