Recipe View Cover the casserole dish and bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and heated through, approximately 1 hour. Remove the cover for the last 15 minutes of baking to allow the top to caramelize slightly. (Bake time: 60 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with a plant-based alternative and omit the bacon. Consider adding diced bell peppers for extra flavor and color.
Adjust the amount of brown sugar to your preference for sweetness. A touch of molasses can add depth to the flavor profile.
If you prefer a smokier flavor, add a dash of liquid smoke to the bean mixture before baking.
These beans taste even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together.
