- ¼ T Chili powder
- ¼ T Oregano
- ¼ T Garlic powder
- 2 TB Oil
- 1 TB Butter
- ½ Cup Chicken broth

Instructions
- Add beans and water to a large, heavy bottom pot, like a Dutch oven. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer, covered, for 2 hours.
- Drain the beans, reserving some of the liquid, about a cup.
- In a large pan, heat the oil and butter, then add the beans.
- Add the spices and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the salt and chicken broth and start pressing down on the bean to smash them.
- Add in the salsa and reserved bean cooking water and keep smashing.
- You can add more of the water to thin out the beans if you would like. Just mash until they’re at a consistency you’re looking for.
