Homemade "Refried" Beans

I am a lover of Mexican food!

We have some type of Mexican meal

planned at least once a week on

my menu board.

So I thought why not try making 

my own re fried beans?...

There really isn't anything hard about

making them, you just need to make sure you

have the time to allow the beans

to cook slowly and completely.

 I cooked my beans in my crock pot

for 8 hours on low, the night before I 

wanted to use them in a dish.

Homemade Re fried Beans

*Night before cook beans*

3 C. Dry Pinto Beans~rinsed

6 C. Water

2 (4 oz.) diced Green Chili's

1 Lg. Onion ~cut into large pieces

1 tsp. Cumin

1 tsp. Chili Powder

1 tsp. Garlic Salt

1 Jalapeno Pepper~ diced *optional

Place in slow cooker and coot until tender

4-5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.

After beans have cooked drain off 

and reserve the liquid. Mash beans with a

potato masher. Or I place a small amount

of the liquid in the bottom of a blender,

then added in 2 cups of beans. I pulsed them

together to my desired consistency.

I continued doing this with the remaining beans.

Serve warm as a side dish or you can

make bean burritos, bean dip....whatever

your taste buds desire.

'OLE!
