Refried Beans
Refried Beans
Submitted By: D. Kanon
Recipe Type: Side
Ingredients
- 2 c pinto beans(wash and sort; place beans in a crock pot and cover the beans with about 6 c water and soak overnight with ½ t salt and 1 clove of garlic)
- ¼ chopped onion
- 2-3 T bacon grease
- Monterrey jack cheese grated, or your favorite cheese
Instructions
- After the beans have soaked overnight, turn the crock pot on high until the water starts to boil.
- Reduce the temperature and maintain a medium boil. I boil these all day long(8-10 hrs) until they start to fall apart. When this starts to happen, remove most of the excess water and reserve in a bowl.
- At this point, the beans should mash pretty easy with a potato masher.
- After they are mashed, heat bacon grease and saute chopped onion until tender.
- Add mashed beans, and fry. If they dry out to fast, you can add some of the leftover juice.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
