Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 can (15 oz) baked beans

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup barbecue sauce

1 tsp smoked paprika

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)

1 cup crushed tortilla chips (optional for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.

      Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

        Stir in the baked beans, barbecue sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

          Add in the corn and half of the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring to combine.

            Pour the beef and bean mixture into a greased baking dish and top with the remaining cheese and optional crushed tortilla chips.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your hearty casserole!
