Burger beans have all the sticky, smokiness you love about the classic barbecue side, plus ground beef and all the hamburger toppings baked right in.

Ingredients

  • 1 7-oz. can sliced pickled jalapeños
  • 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, halved, ribs and seeds removed, cut into about â…›" pieces
  • 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt
  • ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 28-oz. can baked beans (such as Bush’s Best Original)
  • 3 Tbsp. ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp. garlic powder
  • 1 Tbsp. yellow mustard

Preparation

  1. Drain one 7-oz. can sliced pickled jalapeños, reserving 1 Tbsp. brine. Set aside separately. Heat 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil in a medium skillet or Dutch oven over medium. Add 1 medium green bell pepper, halved, ribs and seeds removed, cut into about ⅛" pieces, and 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped; cook, stirring often, until fragrant and bell pepper is beginning to soften, 1–2 minutes.
  2. Add 1 lb. ground beef, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper; cook, stirring and breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until beginning to brown, 3–4 minutes. Add one 28-oz. can baked beans, 3 Tbsp. ketchup, 1 Tbsp. garlic powder, 1 Tbsp. yellow mustard, and reserved 1 Tbsp. pickled jalapeño brine; stir well to combine. Simmer beans, stirring occasionally, until bubbling and thickened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Transfer burger beans to a serving dish and top with reserved pickled jalapeños.
