I created this using ingredients that I like and that my family enjoys. We have a family member that has a severe gluten sensitivity. You can make it gluten free by using tamari instead of soy sauce, check your barbeque sauce ingredients for wheat products, and check your baked bean can for wheat-free ingredients.

How To Make beans, beans and beef

  • 1
    Sweat onions in one tablespoon of oil. Break up ground beef and add to onions to brown the meat.
  • 2
    Add mustard and soy sauce and stir into mixture. Add tomatoes, water, cabbage and carrot and stir.
