Calico Beans - Debi W.

1 lb. ground beef - browned

1 lb. bacon (Debi cooks hers but some people don't)

1/2 c. chopped onion

2 t. prepared mustard

4 t. vinegar

3/4 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. ketchup

1 lg. can Bush's baked beans

1 can green beans

1 can garbanzo beans

1 can canelli beans

1 can black beans

Drain all the beans except the bush's baked beans.

Brown ground beef, add onions and cook until onions are clear.  Add bacon, mustard, vinegar, ketchup and brown sugar.  Add beans.  Cook in crockpot on high 3 hours or in oven at 350 degrees for 40 min.

*To make this more healthy you could use turkey burger.  I used 7% fat ground beef and there wasn't any fat that cooked out.  Also turkey bacon or 1/2 the bacon, I used low salt bacon.  You can use any kind of beans you want to use, you don't have to use bushes, you could just use pork-n-beans and add a bit more ketchup, mustard, vinegar and sugar.
