This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and it's always a hit with my family. I usually serve it with cornbread and a salad.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe without the ham. The beans were still delicious! I added some extra vegetables, like carrots and celery, and it was a hearty and satisfying meal.

These calico beans are a great way to use up leftover ham. I always have a lot of ham left over after Easter and this is a great way to use it up. The beans are so flavorful and the ham adds a nice smoky flavor.

These calico beans were a hit at my last potluck! Everyone raved about the smoky flavor and the tender texture. I'll definitely be making them again soon.
