Directions

  1. Chop the onion and garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet.
  3. Cook onion and garlic over medium heat until the onion begins to get transparent.
  4. Drain the beans and add to the onion garlic mix.
  5. Add the chopped jalepenos.
  6. Add molasses and honey.
  7. Continue cooking and mashing the beans (use a wooden fork) until they reach a consistency that looks good to you. Don't get them too dry as this will thicken some as it cools. (You can add water to make it more soupy).
