Here's the Baked Bean recipe that I just finished making to take to the 4th of July BBQ tommorow.
**I'll cook them right before we go.
Enjoy the pictures (Flat Tanner helped me out in the kitchen...are you envious Mr. Hand?)
HOT AND SMOKY BAKED BEANS
Serve these hot or at room temperature.
6 bacon slices
1 1/2 cups chopped onion
1 1/4 cups purchased barbecue sauce
3/4 cup dark beer
1/4 cup mild-flavored (light) molasses
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons (packed) dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 to 6 teaspoons minced canned chipotle chilies
6 15- to 16-ounce cans Great Northern beans, drained
Chopped fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook bacon in large skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to paper towels and drain. Transfer 2 1/2 tablespoons bacon drippings from skillet to large bowl. Finely chop bacon; add to bowl. Add onion and next 7 ingredients to bowl and whisk to blend. Whisk in 4 to 6 teaspoons chipotle chilies, depending on spiciness desired. Stir in beans. Transfer bean mixture to 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish. Bake uncovered until liquid bubbles and thickens slightly, about 1 hour. Cool 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Serves 8 to 10.
OOPS! I almost forgot to add the bacon drippings...so thats what's I'm doing in the picture next to my action shot...
Well, that's all there is too it! (Note: I didn't find the Chipotle chiles at the tiny store I go to, so I just got the fire roasted Ortega brand.)

Posted by: Joe on July 3, 2004 08:02 PMHi Joe! Thank you. Tanner actually was stinking like BBQ sauce until the bean rinsing picture took place...there was a slight accident and he took a lille shower (yes, with his clothes on)
Note: I didn't really pour the beans on him...he was hiding "under" the glass dish. Oh! you knew that?
How can Flat Tanner be at your house too? I'm confused. Do I have a Tanner imposter? I hope not.

Personally I think we need to implement a Flat Tanner impostor test.
