After an hour in the oven, the onions were still slightly crunchy, which some of us loved and some didn't care for; consider cooking them with the meat if softer onions are your preference. Of course, if cooked for hours in the crock pot, this would not be an issue. Calico or ranch style beans are a favorite in our house, and these were great! Made for PAC Spring 2013.

I live near Lincoln, NE. I run a cleaning service out of my home and serve both commercial and residential clients. My hobbies include playing with my kids, cooking, playing board games with friends, reading, knitting and scrapbooking.
The cookbook I use the most is probably my Better Homes and Gardens plaid cookbook - it's my go-to when I have a cooking question.
