• Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

Cook the Bacon

• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over a moderate heat until crispy.
• Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving 2 Tablespoons of the bacon grease in the skillet.

Add More Ingredients

• Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking apart as it cooks, until browned.
• Add the onion and cook for 3 or 4 minutes until tender.
• Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
• Drain off any excess grease and put the cooked bacon back in the skillet.
• Add the baked beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, brown sugar, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
• Stir until fully combined.

Bake the Cowboy Baked Beans

• Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
• Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, uncovered, or until bubbling around the edges and hot throughout.

Rest and Serve

• Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes before you serve it, so your cowboy baked beans thicken and cool slightly.
