Reply: Bean Mixture
Hi,
The bean mixture is all of the ingredients up through the beans on the ingredient list. And no need to mash the beans.
Thanks for the question and we hope this helps!
All the best,

Bean mixture
What bean mixture? Do you add the beans to the tomatoes, et al? Do you mash the beans?
