1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped green pepper

Saute until vegetables are crispy cooked (cook longer for softer vegetables if you prefer.) Add garlic, parsley, thyme and pepper and cook about 5 minutes longer. Remove bay leaves from beans and add beans to vegetables. Heat beans through and mash them up as much as you wish. Reseason.

This was a big hit with my family last night...even my 17 year old that doesn't like beans normally. I've never heard of mashing up the beans...but I tried it for her, and she loved it! That also creates a gravy like texture which my husband LOVED. He's missed gravy more than anything!! Thanks! - 11/3/10
