Stove-top "Baked" Beans (v1.0)

Ingredients:

• 1 can kidney beans (16 oz)
• ½ cup water
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 1 tbsp barbecue sauce
• 1 tbsp molasses
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tsp mustard (brown)
• 2 tsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp oil (such as olive (not EVOO), rapeseed, grape seed)
• ¼ tsp chili powder
• ⅛ tsp curry powder
• a few dashes of salt and pepper
• hot sauce to taste

Directions:

1. Drain and rinse the kidney beans.
2. Put the beans and water in a pot over medium heat.
3. Add all remaining ingredients; stir well. I usually add the spices, then the sweets, then the remainder.
   Note: It is implied that you will stir the beans occasionally throughout this cooking process. They will stick to the bottom of the pan if you don't.
   
4. Cover, and bring to a boil over high heat.
5. Reduce heat (~ medium), simmering for 5 minutes.
6. Remove lid and simmer for another 10 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and let stand for another 10 minutes.
8. Serve.
