Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy pan over medium heat. Fry the bacon for 6–7 minutes, turning once, until crisp.
  2. Remove the bacon with tongs, place it on a board and chop into small pieces.
  3. In the bacon fat, fry the onion for 5–6 minutes, stirring often, until softened and slightly browned.
  4. Add the garlic and stir.
  5. Add the minced beef, raise the heat to medium-high and fry for 5–6 minutes, stirring often and breaking up large chunks, until browned. Turn the heat back down to medium.
  6. Stir in the stock, then add the baked beans, kidney beans, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, pepper and BBQ sauce.
  7. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring often, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  8. Taste and, if you want it sweeter, stir in the dark brown sugar.
  9. Add the chopped bacon, stir and cook for 1 more minute, until heated through.
  10. Turn off the heat and serve.
