With so many folks moving to meatless or healthier food choices, I decided to remove the meat from the original recipe but turn up the flavor. The savory veggie blend balances the sweetness of the baked beans. -David Dixon, Shaker Heights, OH

CROCKPOT CALICO BEANS-MY VERSION

Crockpot Calico Beans-My Version image

This is my take on a popular favorite. This makes a big batch and is a little "zippier" than the original version. Can easily be a vegetarian dish...just leave out the bacon!

CROCK POT CALICO BEANS

Crock Pot Calico Beans image

This recipe came from a friends sister. Great for cook-outs, pot lucks.... Very forgiving recipe can easily adjust amounts to suit your tastes. I usually assemble ahead of time and refrigerate overnight before putting in the crock-pot. I have also made ahead of time and put in the freezer for DH to take as part of a "hunting" camp meal.
