This cowboy beans recipe from Cooking with Shotgun Red on YouTube is my absolute favorite baked beans recipe of all time. It’s loaded with meat, flavorful, and is perfect for camping or outdoor barbecue. My family loves this recipe so much that I make it twice a week. I also bring this to potlucks, and it is always a hit. Try this today and see for yourself. Watch the video below to learn the step by step instructions on how to make this.
Cook your diced bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until browned, then set aside. Next, in the same pot, add the ground beef and 1 cup of diced onions. Mix well and let them cook until the meat is browned. Once done, remove the excess grease, then add 1 tbsp of minced garlic and let it cook for another minute. Next, season with 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground black pepper, and 1 tsp onion powder, then add the cooked bacon back into the pot.

After this, add one can of baked beans, one can of kidney beans, and one can of black beans. Mix everything well. Once mixed up, add 1/2 cup barbecue sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tbsp yellow mustard, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar. Continue mixing until well combined. Cover the pot and let them cook for a few more minutes until everything is nice and hot. Serve and enjoy!
