01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and give a 13x9-inch baking dish a good greasing. Next, warm up a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the ground beef and cook it, stirring occasionally, until it’s nicely browned and crumbly—this usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off the excess grease once it’s cooked.

Step 2
In your prepared dish, combine the browned beef with the pork, beans, cold water, white vinegar, and mustard. Give everything a good stir so it’s well mixed. Pop the dish in the oven and let it bake for about an hour, or until you notice it starting to dry out around the edges. Then it’s ready to serve and enjoy!
