      This recipe is awesome! I put all the ingredients in the crockpot and set it on low for 3 hours. My husband is a huge fan of baked beans and said these are the best he has ever tasted.

      I made these for my husband to take to work for a pre-Thanksgiving pot luck. Major hit...glad I didn't 'keep it simple, and just make beans' as he asked. They went so fast that they were gone before he got to them, and I made a BIG batch! I DOUBLED the recipe and made a couple of small changes; I didn't double the ground beef, using 1 1/2 lbs total. I browned the ground beef in the bacon fat, (Had to take off my *Food Police* hat for that one!) adding the onion and about 1/2 tsp garlic powder half way to done. Then I drained any extra fat before adding it to the rest of the recipe. I used 9 slices bacon and 1 cup of brown sugar-it was plenty sweet. I also added a can of tomato sauce and a can of drained black beans for more color. Also, a teaspoon of Liquid Smoke gave a nice touch of flavor. I drained all beans except the pork and beans. I saved the liquid from the kidney beans in case it got too dry while baking, but I didn't need it. This recipe is a keeper for many reasons; it's quick, economical, looks pretty and best of all, tastes great! Thanks Jen.

      Nice & simple recipe! Like another reviewer suggested, I added some liquid smoke & I think it added some nice flavor. I added more beans and doubled some ingredients for a large potluck. I also omitted the hamburger and double the bacon for a less filling side-dish. Don't be afraid to use different types of beans or mix and match beans!

      I've been looking for a great bean recipe and I found it! Made it for a potluck at work and several asked for the recipe. A couple of the guys begged to take some home with them. DH loved it as well. I did use Splenda brown sugar and black beans (I was short on the others), but you could substitute any kind of canned bean with this! Thanks this will be my bean recipe from now on!

      Lost my recipe for calico beans, and this one is the same one. Thank you for posting this.
      Only changes made were to use apple cider vinegar ( because I was too lazy to bring up the regular vinegar from downstairs ) and I added a 1/2 cup of water so it wouldn't get too dry while baking in the oven. The salt also was omitted, as we are watching our intake of salt. The water cooked down just enough for the right consistency. To go with this, we had sliced Italian bread from the bakery. Yum!

      This was very good although I must admit to some minor modifications. I used 1T of both the dry mustard & vinegar & only 1/2 c of the brown sugar. I also added in a drizzle of maple syrup because thats what I remembered my Mom adding & loved it! Thanks for sharing, will be sure to make this one again!

      My whole family loved these beans, followed recipe other than using leftover taco meat rinsed for the ground beef. Next time, and there will be a next time I will cut back on the Brown sugar, this was very sweet. Thank you for this recipe!

      I've made this twice now for two family gatherings-- both times they've been a hit! Next time I will add another can of pork and beans, as others have suggested. Very tasty though!

      I have made this recipe for years and always get asked for the recipe. I use a 32 oz can of pork and beans, 15 oz can of butter beans and 15 oz can of red beans. MAkes enough for a large gathering and there is rarely any left/ It is yum!

      I chose this dish because it sounded like a coworkers dish for pot luck at work. It is great!!! Very easy to make. Lots of flavors blended together. Highly recommended.

      Thanks for a great recipe! I didn't add all the hamburger because I didn't have the whole pound, but it still tasted good!

      i like the mix of beans. i would add an extra can of baked beans next time, and i would probably cook longer to make the kidney beans tender. thanks

      My husband came from a very large family. His Mother always made pork and beans and hamburger to stretch the food budget. He has never said much about my attempt to recreate her recipe until I made Jen's Calico Beans Boy is this good----MIL would be proud of me. Thanks Jen for the memories!

      I made to bring to a pot luck and they went over like gangbusters! I made sure my meat was finely minced up before adding the other stuff so it was in every bite. I got lots of compliments on how good the beans were, and was asked for the recipe by a couple of gals eating next to me. Not a much better compliment than that! I will be making again for us because we all love homemade beans!
