A few quick notes
1. Let the beans help with the texture
The bean-mashing step changes how the mixture holds together or thickens. Do it where the method calls for it, then look at the texture before deciding what to do next.
2. Set out the first ingredients
Look through the first cooking step and have its ingredients ready before you begin. It is easier to give the pan your attention when you are not still looking for the next item.
3. Keep an eye on the broiler finish
The broiler is a separate finishing job. Read that part before serving, get the dish ready as directed, and stay with the finish instead of treating it as another long oven step.
