• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.

CHIPOTLE BAKED BEANS

Steps:

• Saute the onion, green pepper, and prosciutto in 2 tablespoons olive oil, in a large heavy pot, until the onions and peppers are soft and the prosciutto is browned.
• Add the entire can of beans into a large pot along with remaining. ingredients, except the pureed chipotle.
• Divide the beans evenly between two ovenproof casseroles (I covered two ovenproof mixing bowls with foil).
• I added the pureed chipotle to one of the mixing bowls, then covered them and baked them at 375 degrees for an hour.
• Uncover and cook for another 20 minutes.
• Stir them about halfway through the cooking time, and then again when you uncover them.
• If you so desire, add a little chopped fresh cilantro to the chipotle version.
