Um, I will never buy canned refried beans again. You have got to try these! Super simple, makes a lot (serves 15 so you may half the recipe or make bean burritos to freeze!) and they tasted so good!! We all loved them.
Slow Cooker Refried Beans
from Allrecipes
1 onion, peeled and halved
3 cups dry pinto beans, rinsed
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons minced garlic
5 teaspoons salt
1 3/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
9 cups water
Place the onion, rinsed beans, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin into a slow cooker. Pour in the water
and stir to combine. Cook on High for 8 hours, adding more water as needed. Once the beans have cooked, strain them, and reserve the liquid. Mash the beans with a potato masher (I used my immersion blender to puree them), adding the reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.
