Ingredients
- 1/2 cup molasses
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 canned chipotle chiles in adobo
- 3 big (28-ounce) cans cannelloni beans, drained and rinsed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 slices pancetta
- Leaves from 6 fresh rosemary sprigs
- Extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Special equipment: 4 individual crocks
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the molasses, ketchup, mustard, and chiles in a blender and puree. Scrape that into a big bowl, add the beans and season with salt and black pepper, and gently toss so that the beans are coated with the molasses mixture. Divide the mixture evenly amongst individual crocks. Top each crock with a piece of pancetta, sprig of rosemary and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Bake in the oven until the bacon is browned and fat is rendered, about 25 minutes.

I messed up and used the whole can of chiles, too, but I have to make baked beans for a crowd this weekend so I thought I'd try again and do it the right way this time! However, looking at the recipe, I'm still confused. Three 28-oz cans of beans for 6 servings? That's a lotta beans! I need to make baked beans for 100 people, so I need better quantities to estimate with!

Probably the worst thing I've made from here EVER! Yes, I was one of those that put in an entire CAN of Chiles - note the plural part.
Warning to all. If you should put in an entire can of chipotle chiles in adobo instead of just a single chile (singular out of the can, you will do what happened to me at dinner tonight.
It's so hot that we were blowing snot bubbles!
