For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding diced ham and a can of chopped green chiles during the last hour of simmering. If you prefer a thicker broth, mash some of the beans against the side of the pot with a spoon. Leftovers taste even better the next day! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
