Ingredients
Instructions
- Brown the ground meat in a skillet.
- In a separate skillet, sauté onions in margarine until they begin to brown.
- Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate overnight.
- Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 1 1/2 hours.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, try adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce or a sprinkle of smoked paprika. You can substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a lighter option. If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider increasing the maple syrup slightly. To save time, use pre-chopped onions or frozen diced onions instead.
Serving Suggestions
These baked beans pair wonderfully with grilled meats or BBQ dishes, making them an excellent side for summer cookouts. Serve alongside cornbread or coleslaw to complement the flavors. For a complete meal, consider offering a fresh salad or the delightful Lettuce Layer Salad to round out your menu.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply place the beans in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave in a microwave-safe dish until hot, stirring halfway for even heating.
