BBQ Beans

Servings: 6 to 8 as a side dish

1/4 c. olive oil
2 TBL minced garlic
1 c. chopped green onion
1 to 2 jalapeños, minced, or to taste (seeded or not, your funeral !)
4 c. cooked pinto beans (from about 1 pound dry, or about 3 drained 15-ounce cans)
2 c. chicken broth or 2 cups of pinto bean liquid from boiling
1 c. brown sugar, packed
1 c. barbecue sauce (I use KC Masterpiece)
2 to 4 TBL puréed chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, or to taste
2 tsp. Tabasco, or to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste

Heat a medium heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat until hot. Add the first four ingredients and sauté, stirring constantly, until the garlic is aromatic and golden, about 2 minutes.

Stir in the remaining ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to avoid burning the mixture, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Continue to cook just until the beans begin to break apart, about 15 to 20 minutes. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning and heat as desired. Smash some of the beans slightly with the back of a spoon and stir to thicken the texture. The beans will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
