SWEET and SPICY BEANS
(click for printable version of this recipe)
This recipe was submitted from Jayden of Midland, Texas. She said she got it from a grocery store in Waco, Texas about 15 years ago. She says that she has made it several times and every time it disappears! The original recipe she sent calls for 1 jar of peppadews instead of the chipotle peppers. I could not find any peppadews within a 60 mile radius of my home so I substituted the chipotles. I don’t know how it tastes with the peppadews but the beans were a success with my family just as I made them here.
TOOLS:
• Cutting Board
• Knife
• Large Saucepan
INGREDIENTS:
• 2 cans of Ranch Style Beans (totalling
  appx 48 ounces), drained and rinsed
• 1 can of chipotle peppers, chopped
• ½ bottle of Montreal Steak Sauce
• 8 slices of bacon, fully cooked and
  chopped
• 1 cup beef broth

PREPARATION: 

In a large saucepan over medium heat, fry the bacon until fully cooked. Drain the grease. Add all of the sauces, the broth and peppers. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium low. Add the beans and bring to a simmer. Cook about 10 minutes, until beans are heated throughly.

Hints: I only used 2 chipotles and the beans were quite spicy (hot) so use the peppers according to your taste.
