Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 sweet onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 package Hurst's 15 Bean Soup beef flavored
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1/2 cup yellow American mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Brown the ground beef over medium heat, crumbling the meat as it cooks. Drain grease.
  • Add the ground beef, onion, and pepper to a 6 quart slow cooker.
  • Add the beans, reserving the seasoning packet for later, and the beef broth to the crock pot. Cover and cook on high for 5-6 hours or until beans are tender.
  • Once beans are tender, use a soup ladle to remove around 1-2 cups excess liquid from the slow cooker. Discard liquid.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker along with the flavor packet and stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  • Continue cooking for 30 minutes with the lid off of the slow cooker to allow the mixture to thicken slightly.
  • Serve on buns and enjoy!
