I love this Slow Cooker Calico Beans recipe. It has been one of my favorites and go-to beans recipe for years! It is incredibly easy to throw together, almost a dump-and-go dish. After browning the ground beef, you simply have to dump everything in your slow cooker and set it to cook for a few hours. When done, serve these Calico Beans right away with rice, bread, or cornbread.
