  1. Brown the beef
    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns. Drain off any excess fat.

  2. Build the flavor
    Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion & herb seasoning, and minced onions. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onions are soft and fragrant.

  3. Combine everything
    Transfer the beef mixture to a large baking dish. Add the baked beans, chopped onions, and green bell peppers, then stir until well combined.

  4. Bake
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dish and bake for 30 minutes, or until bubbly and the peppers are tender.

  5. Serve and enjoy
    Let the beans rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of shredded cheese if desired.

Simple, hearty, and made with love—this is one recipe that never fails to bring everyone back to the table.
