Preparation

Step 1

Put about 2 inches (about 3 cups) of dry pinto beans into crock-pot. (Wash and rinse beans first)
Fill crock-pot nearly to the top with water
ADD:
5 chicken bouillon cubes
1 Tbsp. garlic salt
1/2 medium sweet onion (Don’t chop up onion, just put half of onion on beans)

Cook on high until beans are soft. (stir occasionally during cooking process. You may have to add more water as beans absorb water.)
Strain beans or pour off juice, saving the juice in a separate bowl.
Add 1/2 cup of buter and a small amount of juice that beans cooked in.
Use a hand blender to mash beans. Add juice and blend to obtain desired consistency. You want to leave beans a little runny as they will set up quite fast.

Enjoy!
