What an excellent idea! I am thrilled to have found your recipe. The directions are well written, the process was very simple (only, say, 10-15 minutes of hands on time from start to finish, and I'm not a speed demon), and the finished product is excellent. I tripled the recipe because I knew I'd love them and want plenty for leftovers. I pureed about two cups and then left the rest slightly mashed but mostly whole. Great on tostadas, tortilla chips, and in tacos, and other things I haven't gotten around to eating them with yet.

Pretty good beans, they are perfect for use in a burrito or combined with other dishes. As a side, they could use a bit more spicing up. I liked the recipe, but next time I will add a jalapeno, cloves of garlic, and maybe a little (just a little!) bacon. Mmm. Oh, also, mine needed six hours on high... I cooked them for five, and they were still slightly too firm but I was too hungry to wait!
