Add HOT water if needed, only a small bit at a time, you want your bean juice to thicken, remember to always keep your juices at least a good 2" inches above your beans. VERY IMPORTANT:The last 30 mins. of cooking add your salt and seasonings, but not until then.. this is what will help thicken up your juices.
