Brenda’s tips:

• Serving size: Recipe makes the equivalent of one (16 oz) can.

• Recipe can be doubled.

• Blended beans will thicken as they cool, recommended to remove from blender immediately after blending.

• If you prefer bean chunks to a smooth blend, simply use a fork or potato masher to crush the beans.
