Thread: Crock Pot Refried Beans

1 lb. of Pinto Beans, rinsed. Put beans in crock pot and cover with water. Cook on high for 6 hours. Drain in a colander and return beans to crock pot. Add 5 cups of water, 3 slices of bacon, 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sliced or chopped onion and a little salt. Cook on high for about 8 hours, or until the beans are soft. Mash with a potato masher. Then, using a hand mixer, mix on high until the beans are smooth. Turn crock pot on high and add 1/2 to 1 cup of butter or margarine, or if you dare...use lard instead. Stir, then cook on high, uncovered, until the beans have absorbed the butter and have thickened. Serve right from the crock pot!

These are delicious!!! Best beans ever! I like to fry them in a pan with butter before serving and top with cheese. I remember when Chip and I were first married Grammy made these and I ate them for a week straight!

It will make a lot of beans, like a ton! you can freeze them too!!

Bump! I added a couple of peppers in (green chilis) while they cooked and it was even better!
