I came up with this recipe a little while ago and have been meaning to post it up. It's kind of a mix of various different baked bean recipes, and a bit of a BBQ sauce recipe thrown in. The chipotle is not important if you have good quality smoked paprika. Any meat products (bacon, Worcestershire Sauce, etc) can be removed, although not recommended.

1 to 1.5Kg Haricort/Navy Beans - soaked for 24hrs prior to cooking.

2x 400g Tins Tomatoes

4x Onion

4Tbsp Smoked Paprika

4Tbsp Sweet Paprika

4Tbsp Brown Sugar

4Tbsp Molasses

2x Green Chili

1/2c White Vinegar

1/2c Worcestershire Sauce

6 cloves garlic

250-400g bacon cubed (smoky, good quality)

1Tbsp sumac (optional)

small block of dark chocolate (chili choc if you can)

2Tbsp Chili Sauce (optional)

1 Chipotle Chilli (optional)

salt

pepper

Saute 2 onions & Green Chilis in a little olive oil or butter.

Add to blender with tomatoes, brown sugar, molassas, paprika (both), garlic and some pepper.

Blend, add to large pot (big enough for beans & bacon), add vinegar & worcestershire sauce to pot. Cook over a medium heat for a few minutes.

When slightly thickened, add beans, bacon, remaining 2 onions, chocolate, chili sauce, Chipotle Chilli and Sumac if required.

Add 500ml of water and cook over a low heat for 8 to 10 hours. Regularly stir the beans (every 10-20 minutes) to stop them burning, add more water when the sauce starts to thicken. Add desired amount of salt. Cook until sauce has thickened.

Enjoy with some nice buttery toast.
