Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 onion (peeled and halved)
  • 2 cups pinto beans (dry, rinsed)
  • ½ jalapeño (seeded and chopped (or other hot pepper))
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¾ teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pinch cumin
  • 6 cups water

Instruction

  • Combine all ingredients in slow cooker.
  • Cook on high for 8 hours, or overnight while you're sleeping.
  • Remove the bigger onion chunks and drain the excess liquid. If desired, save the excess liquid to add back to the final product to get the optimal consistency (i.e. not too dry).
  • Mash remaining beans with a potato masher and voila! You have homemade refried beans.
