This is a very simple recipe, but oh so good. You won't be able to go back to the canned stuff after making these, I promise! And if you don't like refried beans, give these a whirl, you'll change your mind after trying them. I got the recipe here, although I've seen it lots of other places.
Crockpot Refried Beans
3 cups of dry pinto beans (rinsed)
1 onion, diced
9 cups of water
5 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp pepper
2 TBSP minced garlic
1/8 tsp ground cumin
2 TBSP butter
Put all the ingredients except the salt and the butter in a crock pot and cook on high for about 8 hours.
After they are done, drain all of the liquid out and save the liquid.
Mash beans with a potato masher as much or as little as you want. Add liquid, a bit at a time, to desired consistency, but remember you want them a little runny because they thicken over time. Add salt and butter, and more cumin to taste, if needed. Makes about 6 cups.
You can double this recipe and freeze them, they freeze just fine.

I'm so excited to try this recipe. A few months back, I started making a batch of refried beans on saturday that we eat through out the week. And you are right, there is no going back to the canned stuff! I've been doing mine on the stove, but I can't wait to try this out! Thanks!
