Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the hamburger and cook until browned, draining excess fat.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of garlic powder or smoked paprika when cooking the hamburger. If you want to use different beans, black beans or pinto beans can be great substitutes. You can adjust the sweetness by varying the brown sugar or using maple syrup for a unique twist. For a vegetarian version, simply omit the hamburger and add more beans or some textured vegetable protein.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Lynn's Baked Beans alongside grilled meats or as part of a potluck spread. They pair beautifully with Jackie'S Ham Delight or can be enjoyed with cornbread for a comforting meal. For a complete dinner, consider a fresh salad or coleslaw on the side, which complements the rich flavors of the baked beans.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place the beans in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. You can also microwave them in a covered dish, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating. If the beans seem dry, add a splash of water or barbecue sauce.
