01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet over medium heat, warm up the oil and cook the chopped onion until it’s soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks, and stir occasionally until it’s fully browned, which should take around 5 to 7 minutes. Once done, drain any excess fat.

Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the kidney beans with their liquid, pineapple along with its juice, ketchup, brown sugar, cornstarch, mustard, and a pinch of salt. Toss the cooked beef and onions into the bowl and stir everything until well combined.

Step 3
Pour the mixture into a big casserole dish and pop it in the oven. Let it bake for about 45 minutes, or until it’s bubbling and heated through. Once it’s done, it’s ready to serve!
