Slow Cooker Recipe
Mixed Bean Casserole
There are lots of ways to doctor up canned pork and beans. Here’s a recipe we really like. The sauce is augmented with bacon, onion, and brown sugar, and there’s a nice variety of beans, for a pretty appearance on the plate. (Do you care how your food looks?)
Serve these beans as a side dish, or allow them to star as the main attraction. Cornbread and a green salad would be perfect accompaniments.

Remove bacon from pan, Add 1 small onion 1/2 lb ground beef -browned, then 1 tsp crushed garlic, 1 small can diced tomatoes drained, 1 garlic clove crushed, 1 large can pork N beans, Stir in1 tblsp. brown sugar. Simmer 20 minutes. Allow to sit 10 minutes. Just before serving add crumbled bacon..
I usually serve this with a cucumber, onion and tomato salad or freezer cole slaw.
I grew up with this recipe, known to us as Calico Beans. I have used it for years and change it up with whatever I have on hand. It’s such a versatile dish, and can be either a side dish, or we like to have it as a main dish served with hot corn bread and a side salad. Either way, it’s delicious!
Does anyone know the nutritional value of what this recipe is? Looking for the calorie count, but more importantly the protein value. Thanks
we call this Calico beans and sometimes we fry up 1 lb. of ground beef and add to this to make a one dish meal.
We call this calico bens but use sausage instead of bacon. This can also be baked in the oven.
Here at my home, we call it a 3 Bean Hot Dish. Cooked it over the weekend in my crockpot!
> We use both ground meat and bacon.
