Chipotle Baked Beans

1. 1

   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.

2. 2

   Add the entire can of beans into a large pot along with remaining. ingredients, except the pureed chipotle.

3. 3

   Divide the beans evenly between two ovenproof casseroles (I covered two ovenproof mixing bowls with foil).

4. 4

   I added the pureed chipotle to one of the mixing bowls, then covered them and baked them at 375 degrees for an hour.

5. 5

   Uncover and cook for another 20 minutes.

6. 6

   Stir them about halfway through the cooking time, and then again when you uncover them.

7. 7

   If you so desire, add a little chopped fresh cilantro to the chipotle version.
