A delicious and hearty BBQ bean dish perfect for gatherings or family dinners.
Cook the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.
Breaking the beef into small pieces while cooking ensures even browning.
Drain the cooked beef and onion mixture to remove excess grease.
For a leaner dish, rinse the beef with hot water after draining.
Add the pinto beans, lima beans, green beans, diced tomatoes, brown sugar, ketchup, barbecue sauce, and mustard to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Simmer the mixture over low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cover the skillet partially to prevent splattering while allowing the sauce to thicken.
Serve the BBQ bean skillet warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of cornbread or a green salad for a complete meal.
