will WOW everyone at your get-together with a Western twist. At a recent party, we served this along steak and so I omitted the ground beef. Try it with a little country sausage for a change of pace. Regardless, it’s sure to please!

That looks yummy, Gnee!!Thanks for the wonderful comment on my blog.. you made my day!!!!
These sound great, I’m a big fan of baked beans-actually beans of any sort! I make then from dry in my pressure cooker these days, always a fun project.
I have had calico beans before and I like the taste, but I am not a hamburger girl at all. What a great idea to omit the hamburger! I never thought about that. I guess I thought the dish wouldn’t come together without it! I will be trying your recipe without the hamburger soon.
I make something very similar! Never a single bean left.
Have a wonderful week.

Those sound wonderful!
I am SO happy that I found your blog!! I can’t wait to make these and the lemon blueberry cake!
Oh my this looks yummy! Thanks for the recipe. Can’t wait to try this.
Thanks for visiting me over at Pittypat Paperie and leaving a nice comment. Come again anytime.
I literally got a taste in my mouth for baked beans as I read this. I know that most people think of beans as a summer/grilling side dish favorite, but for ME they speak of autumn and all the trimming that goes with my favorite season of the year.
I will be sure to try your calico beans!
Hi sweet friend, I have missed you! I love your recipe, much like mine, I like to add pineapple to mine too! Thanks for your visit! 😀
I am always looking for a new twist on a traditional recipe. I am having a BBQ next weekend and was thinking about baked beans. Thanks for helping me out with this recipe.
These look wonderful! I’ve never made homemade baked beans – Bush’s are so good.

I love the addition of bacon and adding the 3 different kinds of beans! I wonder if you could cook it in the crockpot – but then you might lose some of the yummy roasted flavor. Hmmm…
These look fabulous and Tailgate perfect! Thanks
Ok now you’ve done it! I’m starving. Thanks for linking.
