Crockpot Refried Beans

This recipe came from Real Mom kitchen. Just about anything, well most things that you can do in a crock pot I am willing to give it a try!! The thought of getting dinner done in the morning when I am much more motivated is soooo nice!
Last night I made fajitas and decided to try these beans. There is another recipe on this site for refried beans, but this one was simpler so I decided to give it a whirl!
They were really good and sooo easy and definitely better than out of a can!

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 cumin

Put all ingredients in a crockpot and cook on high for about 8 hours.

After they are done, drain all the liquid out and SAVE THE LIQUID!

Mash beans with a potato masher. Add liquid, a bit at a time to desired consistency. Remember to make them a little runny because they thicken over time! (makes about 6 cups)
