Ingredients
  

  • 15 oz pinto beans
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/2 to 1 cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • If using homemade beans put them in a pan and add in the stock.  If using a can of pinto beans drain and rinse the beans then put them in a pan.
    Cook on medium low heat and add in the stock stir and mix well.
    Then add in the garlic, cumin, onion powder and salt to taste.  Stir the bean to make sure all the seasonings are incorporated.
    Using a masher smash the beans until they are the consistency you are looking for. If the beans are too thick add more broth.
    Give the bean a taste to make sure it has enough seasonings and then remove from heat and serve.

Notes

You can use fresh onion and garlic instead of powder.
