Happy July 4th! I wanted to share a recipe for Calico Beans. A woman in my office brought in a crock pot full of these beans one day and I absolutely loved them, so had to get the recipe. I made them today for our early July 4th celebration at my mother in laws. We had hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta salad, corn on the cob and Calico Beans. They were a huge hit, so here is the recipe:
1 lb hamburger, drained
1/2 lb bacon, cut into small pieces(optional, I skipped the bacon altogether to cut down on the fat)
1 med onion, chopped
1 can lima beans, drained
1 can butter beans, drained
1 can of kidney beans, drained
1 large can of Bush's Baked Beans
1/2 cup white sugar
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons dry mustard
Brown hamburer, bacon and onion together, drain. Put into crockpot with all of the beans. Mix the remaining ingredients together in a separate bowl. Pour over beans/meat and mix together. Heat in the crockpot. Great for family get togethers and picnics. You can add another can of Bush's Bakes Beans to stretch the recipe a bit more for a large crowd. Enjoy!!!
