The Recipe: G-ma's Calico Beans
For our 6 quart crock pot, we usually double this to have extra for lunches and my son’s after school snack. He loves this!
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef, cooked and drained
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 strips cooked bacon, crumbled

- 1 15 oz. can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz. can butter beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed (my addition because they’re yummy)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup gluten free ketchup, fruit juice sweetened preferred
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon prepared gluten free mustard
Instructions
