Just made tonight, and hubby loved! I noticed some people said it was too sweet, so I would suggest a little mustard or using regular bbq sauce and regular baked beans instead of special sweet varieties. I used bush's homestyle baked beans and sweet baby rays bbq sauce (award winning type). I also added an onion, some garlic salt, a little extra bbq sauce, and about 2 tbsp regular mustard. I used smaller spoonfuls of bisquick mix, and baked for 20 min. Turned out perfect!

All of my boys (ages 2, 4, and 43) liked this one -- gobbled it up with no complaints about cleaning their plates. I used my grocery store's meatloaf mix (beef, pork, and veal) rather than regular ground beef for a little more flavor. Also added about half a small bag of frozen corn with the baked beans and BBQ sauce. The corn gave the casserole a nice texture and I like to sneak in a few more veggies wherever I can. We'll definitely add this to our regular dinner rotation.

I fixed this casserole for my kids from the time they were 7 years old (now 30 and 31). It was something everyone would eat without complaining. Both kids begged me to find the recipe so they could now make it for their own kids. They still remember it and that's got to say something. By the way. When I made it, the recipe called for refrigerated biscuits....makes it even quicker.
