No. They are generally pinto beans but I have seen them done with black
beans as well. The beans are cooked, then mashed or partially mashed,
sometimes with additional fat of some kind added. Traditionally this would
be lard. I usually use olive oil. But you can make them with no fat as
well.

If the beans were cooked normally (not in a stupid crockpot), there
would be no problem.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Not a problem! I like making dried ones. From the description of what you
like in texture, white, black eyes, and lima (butter beans) are going to
suit you well.


I missed the orginal post. Did you make them with sweetner and bake them?
I prefer mine to be savory vice sweet but there's lots of good recipes for
both! Plenty of them use the oven to polish them off after using a stove or
crockpot to do the basic cooking.



In my case, I'm just used to it at least with the weight types of measures.
I get a little confused on liquids and definately if the recipe says 'x
grams water' or something like that.


Something closer to 2L would work best for you.


Same here, but we use the breadmachine for most of it. Only now and again
to we do just 'dough' then put it in the oven. Did that this past weekend
though as we wanted 3 loaves and I have only 2 breadmachines. I was hosting
a party and wanted some for gifts (grin).

Interesting. I thought it was a chain, and I could have sworn I have
seen another one. I wonder if that one is that grill version you
mentioned. It was located at a mall I rarely go to. I guess I went to
the only one in Portland. I was trying to avoid another trip to Marie
Calender's so I agreed to El Torito.

What kinds of things do you use those fats for? I used to save bacon
fat but found I never used it so I quit and just let it harden and put
it into my grease container in the fridge to be thrown out.

Western Family are also very good but I know that brand isn't available
everywhere. I alternate between the two brands. I buy Rosarita by the case
at Costco. But sometimes my stock is low and I'll get the Western Family at
Central Market. They are cheap too!

It's the name of a Mexican restaurant chain. I don't know if they are
regional or national, but I have seen them in Washington and Oregon. I
assumed they would be like most Mexican style restaurants, but i guess
not.
