Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into tiny pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Add Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, onion & herb seasoning, and minced onions to the ground beef. Stir well to combine and let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
In a baking dish, combine the can of Bush’s Baked Beans with the seasoned ground beef mixture. Mix them together thoroughly.
Add the chopped onions and green bell peppers to the beans and meat mixture. Stir everything well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the beans are hot and bubbly.
Optional: For a golden, caramelized top, you can broil the beans for an additional 3-5 minutes at the end.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
