Summer is in full swing. We are grilling and chilling non-stop. These Sloppy Joe Cowboy Beans are one of our favorite BBQ side dishes. SO easy to make and they taste great! They go with just about everything – chicken, pork, burgers, hot dogs. They are the perfect side dish at all of your cookouts. Heck, I could make a meal out of just these meaty baked beans. Seriously! YUM!
How to Make Sloppy Joe Cowboy Beans
These Cowboy Beans are super easy to make. Start with browning some ground beef. Next, stir in sloppy joe seasoning, tomato sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, bacon, and some canned pork & beans. Let that simmer on the stove and serve.
I used a packet of McCormick Sloppy Joe Seasoning Mix and cans of Van Camp’s Pork & Beans in Tomato Sauce. Make sure to grab the plain pork & beans and not baked beans for this recipe.
Can You Freeze Leftover Cowboy Beans?
This makes a good amount of Cowboy Beans, so you might have some leftovers. You can freeze any leftovers for a quick side later. When you are ready to serve the frozen beans, simply thaw and reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
As I said, these Sloppy Joe Cowboy Beans were a huge hit! We served them at our 4th of July cookout to rave reviews! They are already back on the menu this weekend!

Can you make these in the oven in a 13 x 9 pan??? How long would you bake them?
These were a big hit with my family! Tasted even better over the next two days. My husband bought the wrong beans to use though. They were the molasses flavored ones so I used them anyway. Still delicious! Made hot dogs and cornbread to go with it. Yum!
