Calico Beans

This is a great recipe for any cookout. Always a crowd favorite!

This is so good it could be the main course!! I make it at every big family gathering & I never have any left. Everyone loves it!

There's a lot of calico bean recipes out there, but I think the molasses makes this one special (:

This is a fantastic, filling (and cheap) meal to feed a herd or to make and freeze in batches for later! #dormfood

Sounds weird, looks weird, super good. If you like beans or chili, you'll love this!

This is a delicious, savory, quick meal that my mom used to make when I was little and it even won a local contest once. It's great with a salad and some hot buttered bread. Enjoy!

This is an experiment I will delete if it's bad and post if it is good. Of course you will only see this if it good lol...

These beans are flavored with just the right amount of chili powder to make it everyone's favorite

Well, this is technically the 4th meal with the steak and 2nd for the pork butt. Over the Easter holiday we had a cook out. My husband used the last of the sirloin to make his baked beans. I wish he’d give me the recipe lol my daughter took some pork butt and the rest went into the pot with the leftover beans. Very hearty and very delicious. Something easy to throw together in a couple of minutes when you have a Fridge full of leftovers.

I, for the life of me, cannot cook beans on the stovetop without them being crunchy or mushy. The crockpot cooks them perfectly!

Orange goes well with black beans

Essentially Chipotle's black bean recipe with added chipotle pepper in mole to spice it up. Great served as a side dish topped with crema and green onions. To make this into a black bean soup, reserve all of the liquid in the cans and blend half of the cooked beans.

The only problem is this recipe probably was once Hawaiian Beans with bacon or spam and pineapple, but I had it first when the cook cut out the pineapple and I adapted it to my vegetarian taste and left out the meat. Either way, it is still delicious and loved by vegetarians and meat eaters a like. My boyfriend's favorite. And our little dog loves it too. 😆

I've had green beans like this at Chinese food restaurants. The other day when I made Mongolian beef it made me think of these.

I make them all of the time where i live we love our beans. You can add sausages if you want but you will have to add more water.

great filling meal, along with cornbread of course!

When that first cold front comes in, it's Chili time. When I was a kid and sous-chef for my father this was his recipe that I tweaked.

A cool crisp salad for any backyard picnic!

Perfect for your summer cookout! I’ve always made these beans in either the oven or slow cooker. But yesterday I was already cooking on the smoker so I figured...why not?! And man am I happy I did! It will be hard to make these beans without a smoker from this point on! (Note: Don't assume this is a spicy recipe because of the jalapeños. It is all about the flavor! It actually has very little spiciness at all!) #mycookbook

Easy recipe for a cold day:-)

Excellent beans for cookout / picnic or just dinner.

Quicker than opening a can of beans, less expensive, and creamier, fresher tasting, we keep cooked black beans frozen in ice cube trays.The best black beans are pole grown black beans, they are larger. If you have bought beautiful dried black beans, called turtle black beans, or frijoles negros de tortuga, put a handfull in a sunny spot in your garden, they will grow.The frozen precooked black bean ice cubes are one ounce, one tablespoon portions, ready in 2 minutes, microwave heated, for tacos, tostadas, burritos, tamales, salads.For my recipes, I simmer my beans without presoak in a big cast iron pot, three hours, and I add an extra cup of dried black beans to fill an ice cube tray to have handy when needed.
