Calico Beans

 

Calico Beans

(10 servings)

 

Ingredients:

4 strips Bacon, chopped

1 small Onion, chopped

1 lb. Ground Chuck

1 can (15 oz.) Pork and Beans

1 can (15 oz.) Kidney beans

1 can (15 oz.) Butter Beans, drained

½ cup Ketchup

1 cup Brown Sugar, packed

3 tbsp. Vinegar

Directions:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon, onion and beef until browned and cooked through.  Drain and set aside.  Using a 4-quart casserole dish or Dutch oven sprayed with nonstick spray, combine the beef mixture with the beans, ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar.  Cover with lid or foil and place in a pre-heated 350-degree oven for one hour.  Remove and serve immediately or serve at room temperature.

Notes:              If you don’t like butter beans like me, use another type.  Pinto or black beans would work well here.  Just rinse before adding to pot.
