Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Cowboy Beef and Beans Directions:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, breaking it into hearty crumbles, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until it begins to soften.
Transfer the beef and onion mixture to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker.
Pour the baked beans over the beef, then add the barbecue sauce. Stir gently until everything is evenly combined.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours, until the onions are completely tender and the mixture is hot, thick, and well blended.
Stir well before serving so the beef, beans, onions, and barbecue sauce form a thick, hearty mixture.
