This winter has been a brutal one. We were hit with a Polar Vortex last week and are currently experiencing a snow storm with more than ten inches of snow forecasted to pile up. On a night like this, I crave warm, comfort food. Bean & Bun is just the ticket. Never heard of Bean & Bun before? Neither had I – until I met my husband. It’s a favorite recipe his mom made him and she passed it on to me. Now, I’m happy to share it with you!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground hamburger
- 16 oz can of Baked Beans (I used about half of a 28 ounce can, since that’s what I had)
- 1/2 cup Barbecue Sauce
- 2 Tbsp Brown Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Minced Onion
- 1 Can of Biscuits (the regular/small ones (10 in a can), not the big/grand ones)
- 1 Cup Shredded Cheese (My MIL uses cheddar… I use Colby Jack… it’s really whatever you prefer)
First, preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Then, on the stovetop, brown the hamburger & drain the grease.
Next, turn the heat to low, add the beans, barbecue sauce, brown sugar and minced onions to the browned hamburger.
Stir the browned hamburger, beans, minced onions, brown sugar, and barbecue sauce to combine.
Pour the hamburger and bean mixture into a circular 2 quart casserole dish. Add the biscuits on top. (Don’t mind the finger pokes in each of my biscuits, my daughter was ‘touch counting’ them and her touches turned into deep pokes, ha!)
Next, Add the shredded cheese on top of the biscuits.
Finally, place the dish in the preheated 375 degree oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes or until brown.
Ta Da! Your Bean & Bun is done! Super easy & really yummy!
I hope you and your family enjoy Bean & Bun as much as my family does. Let me know in the comments if you give it a try!

I have never heard of beans and bun before either, this is sure to be a family pleaser. I don’t think there will be any leftovers.

I do love your easy , tasty looking recipe here, I make something similar to this dish, But I only add the shredded cheese on top of the bean and hamburger , or often turkey ground in my case, and then the buns or if you have regular breading, that’ll work also, love this , Make extra because its delicious!

This looks like the ultimate in comfort food. I am always trying to find new ground beef recipes, and we have never tried anything like this before. I will make it for my family soon. My kids are going to love it because it has beans.

This looks good and also very easy. I like how this would be a ‘whole’ main dish. I also think this would be fantastic for a weekend dish to make up. I could see all kinds of variations for this too from using BBQ as is to a chili type dish. With cooler weather now this would be good.

This looks like something my family would really enjoy and I think it looks easy enough that the kids could help to make it.

This would be so satisfying on a cold winter night! And easy to make too.
This looks so comfy and soul soothing. I,too, have never heard of bean and bun but I think I would like this recipe, as it uses ingredients that I would already have on hand.
