Calico Beans

1/2 c. of any 3-5 different beans - or how every many you want (if using dry, soak overnight)

1 onion. chopped

6 carrots, chopped

4 stalks celery, chopped

2 bell peppers, chopped

1 lb. fresh spinach, sliced thin

broth or water to cover

Saute onion, carrot, celery, and peppers in oil until softened. Place everything except spinach into crock pot. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Add spinach during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Serve and sprinkle with cheese.

I modified this recipe a bit, and I also turned it into more of a soup. This is a very good dish, especially when paired up with homemade dinner rolls or bread.

I got this recipe from Kate's Kitchen from her cookbook, The Pantry Principles.
