6-8
ingredients
- 2 1⁄2 cups dried pinto beans or 2 1/2 cups black beans, sorted of debris
- 1 medium size onion, diced
- 1⁄2 1/2 cup melted butter or 1/2 cup lard
- salt
directions
- Rinse beans and place in a large bowl. Cover with cold water and soak at room temperature for at least 12 hours. Drain.
- Place beans and onion in a 3 quart pan and add enough water to cover by 1 inch; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until beans are very tender and mash easily (about 2 1/2 hours); add water as needed. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the liquid.
- With a potato masher or in a blender or food processor, mash (or whirl) beans until coarsely pureed (add some cooking liquid, if necessary). Stir in bacon drippings (or other named fat). Return mixture to pan. Cook, stirring constantly, over medium high heat until fat is absorbed and beans are very hot (about 10 minutes). Season to taste with salt.
