Calico Beans
My sister often brings this delicious bean recipe to cookouts and other family gatherings, and it’s definitely a favorite.
The best thing about this recipe is that you can add things to suit your personal taste. Throw in any kind of beans you like! My sister adds Lima beans, but I left them out. Many people add onions and celery to the recipe as well.
