Honey-Chipotle Baked Beans

OMG these beans rock. We had them on Thursday and made some more on Friday.

They were so good. We never baked them for 60 minutes. Once we made them at 30 minutes and once for 45 minutes.

The first night we had with lager and lemon chicken.

The second night we had with potato salad, ribs and chipotle scones (not to waste the chipotles).
