Calico Beans-Annette's image

Tired of chili? Want something sweet and savory that will stick to your ribs? Or do you just want something that tastes good? This recipe is my husbands favorite. He ALWAYS has me double or triple it so there are leftovers for a few days. My son loves it too and asks for it on a regular basis as well. You can make this with maple...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1 lb bacon
1 can(s) kidney beans
1 can(s) butter beans
1 can(s) pork and beans
1 chopped onion
3/4 c brown sugar
3/4 c catsup
2 Tbsp vinegar
1/2 pkg little smokies, cut on the diagonal, optional
garlic salt with parsley and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Chop bacon and cook until almost done then add beef and onions seasoned with garlic and pepper. Cook until done. Drain.
  • 2. Add beans and remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into a casserole dish and cook uncovered for 40-45 min depending on your oven. You're just heating it clear through since everything is cooked but it also thickens as well during cooking time. .
  • 3. ****I almost always double or triple the recipe. If you do, increase the cooking time to 1 hour at least to make sure it heats through.**** The photo is a triple batch, made with honey maple bacon before being baked. I prepped it in a stock pot and went ahead and baked it right in it as well, for one hour.

These calico beans were a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots, celery, and onion to the pot.

These calico beans were a bit too runny for my taste. I would recommend draining some of the liquid before serving.

I had a hard time finding calico beans at my local grocery store. I ended up using a combination of pinto beans and kidney beans.

These calico beans were a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more spices next time.

I found these calico beans to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less molasses next time.

I'm not a big fan of beans, but I really enjoyed these calico beans. The bacon and vegetables added a lot of flavor and made the beans more palatable.

I made these calico beans exactly as the recipe said, and they turned out great! I didn't have any problems with the beans being too hard or too soft.

I wasn't sure how I would like the combination of beans, bacon, and molasses, but it was surprisingly delicious! The molasses gave the beans a slightly sweet and smoky flavor that I really enjoyed.

I love that these calico beans can be made in a slow cooker. It's so easy to just throw all the ingredients in the pot and let it cook all day.

These calico beans are a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have ham leftover from Easter and Christmas, and this is a great way to use it up.
