01
Step 1
Start by browning the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Once it’s nicely browned, drain off any excess fat. Toss the chopped onion and minced garlic into the skillet with the beef and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, until the onion softens and becomes translucent. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and parsley, stirring everything together, and let it cook for another minute or two.

Step 2
Next, add the canned beans to the skillet and give it a good stir. Pour in the mustard, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, and barbecue sauce, mixing everything until it’s well combined. Taste the mixture and add a little more salt or pepper if you think it needs it. Turn the heat down to medium-low and let it simmer gently for around 30 minutes so all the flavors can meld together beautifully.
