Ingredients

• 3 cups pinto beans
• 1/4 cup lard, butter, or chrisco
• 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water works fine)
• salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Melt the lard in a deep, heavy pot over medium-high heat; when the lard is hot, add the beans. Stir constantly while cooking until the beans reach a paste-like consistency. Season with salt. Reduce heat to low and stir in the water. Simmer and stir until the beans cook down to your desired consistency.
