CALICO BEANS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Put the bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel lined plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet. Add the onion and ground beef and cook, breaking up the beef, until the onion is softened and the beef is crumbled and fully cooked, about 5 minutes. If necessary, drain any excess moisture released from the meat. Add the cooked bacon, kidney beans, navy beans, pork and beans, ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, vinegar and salt. Stir together and then transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Bake until bubbling and caramelized on top, 35 to 40 minutes.

SKINNY CALICO BEANS

Stir in maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, snipped sage, tomato paste, salt, and pepper. Add navy beans, butter beans, and Chick Peas; stir to coat.
• Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with sour cream. Garnish with tomatoes and sage leaves, if desired.

MARINATED CALICO SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Place all vegetables in a large glass container with a lid.
• 2. Place sugar, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a saucepan. Heat and stir until sugar dissolves.
• 3. Pour over vegetables, and gently stir. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, stir again, then transfer to a bowl, using a slotted spoon to do so, as the marinate tends to make more juice overnight.
• 4. Note: you may add 1 finely chopped zucchini in place of the peas if you like, or in addition to them. Make it your call!

CALICO PEAS

Steps:

• In a medium size saucepan, bring 1/2 inch of water to a boil over high heat.
• Add the peas and onion.
• LOwer the heat and simmer, covered for 5 minutes or until peas and onion are tender crisp.
• Drain, stir the butter, pimiento, dill weed, salt and pepper into veggies, tossing until butter is melted.

CACIO E PEPE WITH PEAS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs, adding the peas during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Reserve 1 3/4 cups cooking water, then drain.
• Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of the reserved cooking water and 2 teaspoons pepper. Increase the heat to high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
• Add the pasta and peas to the skillet and simmer, tossing, until well coated. Remove from the heat and sprinkle with the parmesan, pecorino and parsley; toss until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy, adding the remaining 3/4 cup cooking water as needed to loosen. Top each serving with more cheese.

CALICO BEANS

Steps:

• Cook bacon in skillet until crisp, then crumble and set aside.
• Cook beef in skillet until no pink remains. Add onion, sauté just until tender.
• Combine beef, onion, ketchup, salt, brown sugar, mustard and vinegar in a 3 qt baking dish or crock pot. Partially drain all the beans (I don't drain the baked beans) and add to the baking dish or crock pot, stirring gently to mix. Sprinkle with bacon.
• Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes or cook in crock pot until heated through.
• For vegetarian version just sauté onion and add to bean mixture. If using dry tofu crumbles it isn't necessary to rehydrate them first, I just stir them into the mixture. It may require addition of water to the mixture if it gets too thick, I just play it by ear. When using frozen crumbles or gimme lean ground "beef" I heat it up in the pan with the onion before adding to the bean mixture.
