i usually use between 1 1/2 to 2 lbs. of beans,put cleaned beans in a deep pot cover with water by two inches or so,bring to the boil the beans will float to the top but don't worry they will stay floating for awhile,reduce to simmer and cover,stir every half hour or so,add salt along the way and taste and taste again,once beans are melt in your mouth soft bring heat back up and cook off some of the water,smash with a masher to your preference i go half and but thats jut me,add about a good tablespoon of manteca but not too much taste again and season more if needed
