- Refill pot with water. There should be about 3 cups of water per each cup of beans.
- Add bacon grease, cover, and bring to a boil.

- Serve with other burrito fixings like taco meat, cheese, onions, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, olives, etc.

First, I doubled the recipe, and cooked the beans in a crockpot for 8 hours on high. I used ingredients listed, including 3 cups of water per cup of beans. 4 cups of beans & 12 cups of water. The beans were great. Nice soupy thickness, great flavor. Family loved them. Easy recipe. Thank You. Made for ZWT 4 The Mamma Mias!
