*Cowboy-Calico Beans
"These are the BEST! I've been making this recipe for over 20 years now, and it's always a HIT with my family and friends! Great for BBQ's, potlucks, camping etc. Can be made in the oven or in the crockpot, and it freezes and reheats well."

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Brown beef, bacon and onion in a large skillet or dutch oven over medium heat. Add beans and remaining ingredients, stirring to combine. Pour into two (1 1/2- quart each) buttered baking dishes. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until beans reach desired thickness (do not stir---a nice chewy, crispy crust will form, which is my favorite part--yum!). Alternatively, place in a buttered crock pot and heat on low for about 4 hours, uncover during the last hour of cooking if you like your beans thick. Freezes/reheats well.
