"This is a twist on the standard. Nothing beats cooking from scratch. . .I'd use a crockpot or pressure cooker, being sure to increase or decrease the liquid - haven't tried this yet.. .A friend gave it to me. . ."

directions

  • Soak beans overnight, or quick cook.
  • Place beans in a large pot and add 3 quarts water. Add onion, garlic, cilantro and ham hock or bacon, if using. Place over high heat to bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer, covered for about 1 and a half hours.
  • When beans seem cooked, sprinkle with salt to taste (I use quite a bit of salt).
  • Drain beans, reserve liquid.
  • Put beans in saute pan over medium heat, and mash (can use potato masher). Add liquid, if necessary and mash some more. Add cheese to still hot beans, and stir.
  • Reheat, if necessary.
