My dad, Richard, called this Western Grub. From cowboys to kiddos, everyone enjoys this dish. Loaded with beef and bacon, it's great for a cookouts, parties, and easy meals! Just like a calico cat with so many colors, “calico” just refers to the hodge-podge of beans used in the recipe: pork and beans, kidney beans, and butter beans. The beans are all cooked with bacon and ground beef in a tangy, sweet sauce.

By the way, you don’t have to use those exact beans, strictly speaking. Some people swear by lima beans, while others simply must have pintos. And black beans are always good too. This could be served as a side dish too. If you are in a hurry, you don't need to bake it, just stir it all together and let it simmer on the stove about 20 minutes, allowing all the flavors to come together. It is delicious! It isn't low calorie (packed with protein), so make sure you get a walk/hike in before or after enjoying.
