Turtlebox ambassador Michael Letchworth shared one of his go-to tailgate sides with us: his legendary baked beans. Simple, smoky, and packed with flavor. This is the perfect addition to your game day spread.

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1/2 Green Bell Pepper
  • 1/2 Red Onion
  • 28oz Can Baked Beans
  • 16oz Bottle Of Sweet BBQ Sauce


In a large pan over medium high heat, start browning the ground beef. While this is starting to cook, dice your onion and pepper and add to pan also. Make sure to break up the ground beef well. Once ground beef is browned, kill the heat. Add your can of beans and bottle of sauce to the beef mixture. Stir well and transfer to a baking dish. I prefer to do this all in a large cast iron pan so I can go straight in the oven. Bake at 375 Degrees for 30 mins.

Best enjoyed with some good company, your favorite playlist, and an ice-cold beer in hand!
