Calico Beans Recipes

Good on a cold night

Great filler upper. High fiber. High protein. Use no salt added beans for lower sodium.

I've seen many variations of this recipe, but this is the best one I've had. It originally came from my Sister-in-law's Mom. Our family enjoys these so much they are referred to as "THE beans".

I love to make this during the winter months it's a really great sweet meal and really easy to make.

Sooooooo good

CALICO BEANS IN A CROCK POT

Very tasty dish. Used Splenda Brown Sugar Blend instead of Brown Sugar to cut calories. I also used precooked bacon to save time and mess.

spicy yet sweet mix of 4 types of beans. Great for lunch!

Mix of simmered beans, for a quick meal or snack

Lots of fiber!

I LOVE Calico Beans, but they aren't exactly heart healthy.. Not to say my recipe is healthy, but it sure is WAY better than the original, and it cuts the sodium from 1088 mg per serving down to 343...

A GREAT PICNIC OR FAMILY GET TOGETHER DISH

Baked beans with ground beef

Weight watchers points plus 7 pts (note: recipe makes 12 servings, so 1/12=7 pts.)

High fiber side dish, great for barbecues.

My mom always used a strip of bacon to saute the vegetables with, but I substituted pepperoni. She baked these beans with hot dogs tucked in the baking dish and corn muffins on the side. But I would use reduced fat hot dogs instead and serve a romaine and tomato salad.
