Crock Pot Refried Beans


I made this for our dinner to go in our burritos. The neighbor kids who are from Mexico, were here and I gave them each some. Talk about feeling insecure. I am not sure how it compares to their mom's beans but we loved them. Especially compared to the Walmart Great Value beans from a can.


The recipe is from http://www.recipezaar.com/. Here it is...


Ingredients
1(8ounce)bag dried pinto beans
1/4 yellow onion or white onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Directions
1Soak beans overnight or for 8 hours. Discard floating beans and beans that are cracked.
2Rinse beans thoroughly under cold water. Add beans to Crockpot, cover with 1" of water.
3Add salt - approximately 1 tablespoon.
4Add approximately 1 teaspoon of garlic & chili powders.
5Add 1 1/2 (approx) of cumin.
6Sprinkle red pepper flakes.
7Cook on low 4-6 hours or until beans are tender.
8Once beans are done transfer some of your beans to the Cuisnart. Add some of your cooking water. Mix until blended.
