My recipe serves about 6-8 people in a 4 quart cooker. I rarely use beens in mine. I am not too much of a fan of beans. I usually serve it on buttered white rice with bread for dipping. I know two carbs in one meal but what the heck.

If you have left overs, stick in a package of cream cheese and let it melt down to a stable consistency. Serve with tortilla chips, perfect game day snack.

I bought two of them . They are 6 1/2 by 1 3/4 . so how much should i use ?. I cant roast them on the stove because mu stove is electric & not gas.

Both, no worries on the roasting.

I assume the smaller i chop them the better ?. Also do they soften up after cooking, or will they stay firm like they are ?.

It is a matter of taste, the smaller you chop the less you notice them. They will still have some crunch but should be pretty soft by the end of the cook time.

So are you saying if i chop them small, they wont have the same effect as if i left then a little larger ?.
