Now we're talking some cookin'!!!!  And do'um in your cast iron dutch
oven.

Fry up some thick sliced bacon, nice and crunchy, but not burned...
Remove from DO.  Saute some onion - to taste, but you don't want a lot or
you'll over power the beans - in bacon grease until golden.  Without
draining bacon grease, add a can (or two, or three) of butter beans and
water to dilute until soupy.  Simmer until thickened.  Serve with bacon
crumbled on top and fav hot sauce on side...

If doing the chipotle way, saute the chipotles in the bacon grease with
the onions (or before, then add onions and continue sauting until onions
golden).  Remove chipotles and serve on the side with the beans...  Or
leave and let whomever fish out...

Gary, when's dinner???
