"I did not add the full amount of chicken broth, I mashed the pinto beans until they were the consistancy I was looking for. There was a little too much chili powder for us, when I make this again I'd ..." See moreonly use a teaspoon. This was a good refried bean recipe, my oldest boy especially liked it."
