This can be a main dish or a side. My sister and I had a birthday party catered for my Aunt who was turning 80. This was one of the dishes served. It got rave reviews. I was so happy that the caterer gave me the smaller scale version of it. She adapted the recipe from several others she said. We especially like the hot and sweet flavors mingled together and use the hot pepper sauce rather than the chili powder when we make it.

How To Make sweet and hot beefy baked beans

Step 1

In a large frying pan brown beef and bacon. Remove from pan and drain most of the drippings. Leave enough to cook onions just until tender. Mix meats and onions. Pour meat mixture into a large casserole dish or 9 by 13 inch pan. Drain and rinse all canned beans, except the can of pork and beans. Leave that sauce in. Add to meat mixture and stir together. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl mix all remaining ingredients well. Stir into meat and bean mixture which you set aside. Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Remove cover and bake for 10 minutes more. The sauce will be thin when first removed from oven. Allow to sit, uncovered for 10 minutes before serving and sauce will thicken up a bit.
