Refried Beans (Crockpot)

By angielaine

We got this recipe from BAM and tried it with black beans - yum!

Ingredients

• 1 onion, peeled & halved
• 3 c. dry pinto beans
• 1/2 fresh jalapeno (seeded & chopped)
• 2 Tbsp minced garlic
• 5 tsp salt (BAM uses less)
• 1 3/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/8 tsp ground cumin (BAM uses a little more)
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 9 cups water

Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredient in crock-pot, then add water & stir to combine. Add more water if needed as beans cook. Note: if more than 1 cup evaporates during cooking, then temp is too high.

Cook on high for 8 hours.

Once beans have cooked, drain them, reserving liquid. Mash the beans and add reserved liquid fro desired consistency.
