Need tips: How do you guys thicken up your cowboy beans?

Hey everyone! I’m trying to thicken up my cowboy beans and they're still too runny. Does anyone have a good trick or ingredient that works best? Looking forward to your suggestions!

To thicken up your cowboy beans, try adding a tablespoon of tomato paste or a cornstarch slurry (mix equal parts cornstarch and water) to the simmering beans. These ingredients will help bind the sauce and create a thicker consistency. Give it a try and enjoy your hearty cowboy beans!

Hey there, @Kath_ ! Try adding a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water to your cowboy beans. It should thicken them up nicely without altering the flavor too much.
