Equipment
Method
- Heat oven to 325°F and grease a baking dish.
- Cook onion and jalapenos in a skillet for 4 minutes until fragrant and slightly soft.
- Stir in barbecue sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, molasses, mustard, chipotle powder, and pepper until smooth.
- Add drained beans and fold gently so they stay whole.
- Transfer mixture to baking dish and level the top.
- Cover and bake 45 minutes until hot and bubbling.
- Uncover and bake 25 to 30 minutes more until sauce thickens and edges caramelize.
- Rest 10 minutes, then serve warm.
Notes
For softer beans, keep covered longer. For crispier sticky edges, uncover earlier and extend baking time. Freeze cooled portions up to 2 months. Stir gently during assembly to prevent broken beans. Add cayenne, bacon, or honey for flavor changes. Refrigerate leftovers up to 5 days.
