Fourth of July Bean Casserole

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1 hour YIELD: 12 servings.
The outstanding barbecue taste of these beans makes them a favorite for cookouts all summer and into the fall. It's a popular dish, even with kids. The beef makes it so much better than plain pork and beans. —Donna Fancher, Lawrence, Indiana
