Ingredients

  • 8 oz bacon diced (I prefer Trader Joe's Applewood Smoke Nitrate free)
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cans pinto beans or about 3 cups homemade (see how above in post)
  • 1 cup favorite barbeque sauce I shared two links to recipes I use above

Instructions

  • In a large skillet (we LOVE our cast iron skillet!) over medium heat, brown the bacon.
  • Set cooked pieces on some paper towels and discard all but 1 tablespoon of the remaining fat.
  • Saute the onions until soft, a couple of minutes.
  • Crumble the hamburger in, stirring to break it up.
  • When the hamburger is no longer pink, stir in the beans, barbeque sauce, and bacon.
  • Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes to meld the flavors.
  • Serve atop your favorite biscuitsor cornbread!
