Calico Beans

(The perfect picnic recipe)

I got this recipe from my sister.  I don't know who she said she got it from.  She has changed it a little and I've changed it slightly.

It's great to throw in a crock pot and take to a picnic.  Everyone wants baked beans at a picnic!!

Here's my version of the recipe:

(I usually double this to take somewhere)

1/2 C chopped onion

10 slices of bacon cut in pieces and browned with onion 

then add 1/2 lb ground meat and brown.  (I use ground turkey)

Add 1 can each of kidney beans, Butter beans, pork & beans and black beans.

Add 1/4 C BBQ sauce

2 T molasses

1/2 t chili powder

1/3 C brown sugar

1/3 C white sugar

1/4 cup ketchup

a couple squirts of mustard

And salt and pepper

 Heat together in a pot on the stove then put in crockpot on low till it's picnic time!

Happy picnicking this summer!!

I'm linking up with a new "party"
