Calico Beans

From the kitchen of Patty Hykes

Baked beans in various forms appear across American cooking traditions — from the molasses-heavy Boston version to the tomato-sweet Midwest style. The 'calico' in this recipe's name refers to the colorful mix of multiple bean varieties, a visual as much as a culinary choice. Patty Hykes's version, which works equally well in an oven or a crock pot, is pure NE Ohio church supper cooking.
