By: Runnergirl

"No need to soak these beans! Very simple. These pinto beans are somewhat like refried beans without the frying. They are creamy and easy to make in no time. No messy clean up with these beans"

Original Recipe Yield 16 servings

Ingredients

6 1/4 cups water
1 cup condensed chicken broth
2 pounds dried pinto beans
5 cloves cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt, or to taste
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
1 (16 ounce) container pico de gallo (optional)

Directions

Combine water, condensed chicken broth, beans, garlic, onion, and crushed red pepper flakes into a large saucepan; season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer; cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are soft, about 3 1/2 hours. You may need to add additional water to keep the beans from drying out.
Mash cooked beans with a potato masher to desired consistency. Stir in mozzarella and pico de gallo before serving.
