Calico Beans, Beans, & More Beans image

I've been "tweaking" this recipe for about 10 years now. This version is my absolute favorite, and I've had many requests for the recipe. I've never found a bean I didn't enjoy in this dish yet. (Well, maybe not green or yellow wax!) Originally got the first recipe from a friend I worked with.

Time 45m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 lbs hamburger
1 (16 ounce) can Manwich sloppy joe mix (BOLD)
2 (15 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes
1 (1 ounce) envelope onion soup mix (Lipton, Mrs.Grass, Knorr, type)
1 (28 ounce) can bushes baked beans (I use the Boston flavor, but use whatever flavor you like)
2 (16 ounce) cans large butter beans
2 (16 ounce) cans baby butter beans
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can light red kidney beans
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can dark red kidney beans
1 (15 ounce) can great northern beans
1 (15 ounce) can black beans (not the Spicy Ones)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can baby lima beans
3/4 cup ketchup
1/3 cup Heinz 57 steak sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons sour cream, per serving (optional)
3 -6 saltine crackers, per serving (optional)
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese, per serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In large skillet or Dutch oven brown hamburger; as you are doing this add the envelope of onion soup mix.
  • When hamburger/soup mix is browned, add can of Manwich BOLD.
  • Next lightly rinse all beans except the Bushes baked beans.
  • Add petite diced tomatoes and all types of beans to hamburger/soup/Manwich mixture.
  • Stir together over medium heat.
  • Add ketchup, Heinz 57, and brown sugar.
  • Heat thoroughly.
  • Dish into large bowls.
  • Garnish with grated cheese, crackers & a dollop of sour cream.
  • Sometimes this dish will become very thick, if this happens you can thin with water or beef broth.
  • Special Note: You can pretty much add or delete any bean you like or maybe dislike?!
  • Just have fun! and ENJOY!
  • This recipe makes quite a bit. So if you're not feeding 8-12 you can freeze the extra or half the recipe.

These beans are a great way to use up leftover beans. They're also a great source of protein and fiber.

These beans were a bit too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but I really enjoyed these. The sauce was flavorful and the beans were tender.

Not bad, but not great. I thought the beans were a little bland.

Delicious! I made a few changes to the recipe, but it was still great. I used canned beans and added some diced tomatoes.

These beans were a hit with my family. They loved the sweet and savory flavor. I will definitely be making them again.
