Best recipe for Calico beans I have tried.(and I have tried a few). My children and grandchildren love it…I serve every Easter dinner with glazed ham and garlic roasted serling potatoes.

I married into a family of deer hunters, so I’m always looking for new ways to use up the venison in our freezer. So I used some sliced ring bologna in place of the ground beef, and it turned out so well! Rave reviews from my guys. Thank you!

I’ve been making calico beans for 60+ years. I make it quite often as my main meal. When making it as a side dish I leave the ground beef out. I do a double batch and freeze it in portions.

In reply to Dot. Hi Dot, I find them to be well cooked after 8 hours on low. You can always check on them before the 8 hour mark and serve when they are your preferred firmness. I hope you love them! - Meggan

Do the beans stay firm (not mushy) after 8 hours in crock pot? Thank you.

You’re so welcome, Barbara! I’m so glad they were a hit! I appreciate your son’s suggestion, I’m going to give it a try instead using a little liquid smoke for my next batch! – Meggan

My son said “Kudos to the chef! I really like these beans! Next time we need to make them on the smoker.” For years I have made 4th of July baked beans, but the recipe calls for molasses which is now over $5 a jar and I never used it for anything else. Since I love everything I’ve ever made from Culinary Hill, I thought I’d give these a try. I used sausage instead of ground beef and everyone loved them. Thanks for another great recipe, Meggan!
