Here is a link to my Calico Beans recipe: http://necessaryindulgences.com/2012/09/calico-beans/

The first time I had these beans at a friend's house, I put him in a head lock until he agreed to give me the recipe.  It starts with cooked pinto beans not canned baked beans from a company.  So, it's essentially from scratch.  And with 2 pounds of bacon and a bottle of beer, it won't go wrong. 

Don

1 TBS Butter (for dish)
2 TBS vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic - minced
2 red onions - diced
2 pounds bacon - diced
4-6 jalapeños- seeded and minced
2 red bell peppers - diced
1 bottle beer
1 cup BBQ sauce (sweet style)
1 cup brown sugar
¼ cup molasses
4 cups cooked pinto beans - drained.  Pre-cooked is OK.
Kosher salt to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Grease/butter 13 x 9 casserole dish and set aside

Cook bacon.  Freeze.  Then chop/dice.  Some use a food processor.  Set aside.

Heat oil in large sauté pan. 
Sauté garlic and onions until they soften.  Add the chopped bacon, jalepenos, bell peppers.
Continue sauteing and stir until peppers are cooked.

In a large bowl, combine beer, BBQ sauce, brown sugar and molasses.  Mix well.

Add beans and mix.
Add bacon mixture and mix.

Salt to taste.  May not need it. 

Transfer to casserole dish.  Or individual dishes.

Cook for 45 minutes. Or until brown and bubbling on top.

The following is a crowd pleaser.  We are always asked to make a batch when company is coming.

I have made these numerous times for different crowds and am always told they were the best baked beans they ever had. I have made them with both Stubbs and Sweet Baby Rays, feel free to sub your favorite rub too and they are awesome. After you put combine the recipe smoke them at 250 for an hour or so indirect with Pecan and cherry chunks. I sometimes add pork butt to them as well.
