Calico Beans

I think most people have a person in their family who always brings a crockpot bean dish to a potluck. In my family that person is my mom. She (and everyone else) loves her calico bean recipe. While this recipe is different from hers, I still enjoyed it. And really, who doesn't love bacon and brown sugar with beans? :)

I took this recipe from Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Entertaining, by Beth Hensperger.
You can find the full recipe here. I don't like to print recipes from books on my blog, but if someone else has posted it online I don't mind linking to it.

Here's some pictures from this recipe:
I encourage you to give it a try! It makes a wonderful side dish, or can even be served as a main meal if you pair it with a salad.
