From: EatingWell Magazine, July/August 2017
With heat from chipotles in adobo sauce and sweetness from brown sugar, this healthy stovetop baked beans recipe is a spicy twist on the classic. We slashed more than half the sugar and three-quarters of the sodium—and a few hours of cooking time—as compared to a traditional recipe. Serve at your next cookout or BBQ and be prepared for people to rave.
