1/2 tsp black pepper

Step 13

and continue to saute'

Step 14

Turn down heat, cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 15

Drain almost all the water off the beans (Save some water in case you need it.) Mash the beans with a potatoe masher. If the beans are too dry then add a little of the water you saved. When mashed, mix in your saute'd onion/green pepper/spices. Replace crockpot and continue to cook on high for an hour so the spices can mix in with the beans. Use in burritoes or as a side dish. Que bueno!
