Notes
- You can easily double this recipe if you'd like.
- Use other meats, see above for some ideas.
- We like to use pork and beans, but you can switch up your beans to get other flavors.
- Switch up your BBQ sauce to also change the flavor, see above for some options.
- You can use precooked bacon if you'd like.
- Instead of a cast iron skillet you can make these in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Feel free to add any other ingredients that you think would work well in this recipe such as chopped peppers, cayenne pepper (if you want spicy), etc.
- I do not suggest freezing this recipe.
- Try to use lean ground beef, we like 93%.
