Refried Beans - Slow Cooker
This is, by far, the easiest way to make homemade refried beans. It does take some planning ahead, but for the most part, this recipe is very hands off. These are creamy and nicely seasoned. They're not spicy, so long as you remove the seeds from the jalapeno. Feel free to substitute the pinto beans for black beans to mix things up.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Start by soaking the beans overnight. Pick through them first, removing any stones or bad beans you may find. Then place them in a large bowl and fill with enough water to cover the beans by a couple of inches. Place the bowl in the fridge to soak overnight.
- 2
When ready to start the beans, grease the slow cooker. Drain the beans and place them in. Then add in the rest of the ingredients EXCEPT for the salt. Give it a stir, place the lid on and cook on low heat for 8 hours.
- 3
Once the 8 hour mark is up, drain the liquid from the beans, but reserve about 1 cup of it.
- 4
Use either a hand masher (for a chunkier, more rustic texture) or an immersion blender (for a smoother and creamier texture) to mash the beans to your preferred consistency. I just use a hand masher. If the beans are too dry while mashing, loosen them up by adding some of the reserved liquid. Keep in mind that they will thicken slightly as they cool.
- 5
Season the finished beans with the salt and some additional pepper, then that's it. Serve immediately, topped with some cheese if you like, and refrigerate any leftovers.

I love this recipe because it is so simple and fully customizable. You can add more or less of anything to suit your taste, like if you prefer spicy, add 1/2tsp cayenne to give it a little kick, substitute the chili powder and cumin with a packet of taco seasoning. And you can multiply the recipe and freeze in 1-2cup portions for quick use in the future :ohyeaah

Refried Beans: Mark 3 Refried Beans: Mark 3
This is a recipe originally taken from Leslie Koehn’s Brazilian Beans, but I altered it through trial and error to fit my needs. This resulted in a mix of healthy and delicious ingredients that will put any restaurant’s refried beans to shame.Note: After you learn to make it, neither restaurant nor store bought refried beans will ever taste the same again as your taste buds will only demand the rich flavors that only this very own dish can provide!

DOUBLE-RICH BROTH NOTE: The secret to the awesome flavor of this dish is the broth they're cooked in. Whenever I make a pot roast or shredded beef in the slow cooker, I save all the extra broth, which is concentrated, that comes from cooking them; vacuum seal it and keep frozen until I've enough to make these delicious refried beans. Store-bought broth just won't do! Try my beans and you'll agree they're well worth the extra effort!
