Number of Servings: 15

Ingredients

    1 onion, peeled and halved
    3 cups dry pinto beans, rinsed
    1-2 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
    2 tablespoons minced garlic
    2 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1 3/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
    1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
    9 cups water (or 9 cups an equivalent amount of half water and half broth)

Directions

1. Place the onion, rinsed beans, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin into a slow cooker.

2. Pour in the water and stir to combine. Cook on High for 8 hours, adding more water as needed.

3. Note: if more than 1 cup of water has evaporated during cooking, then the temperature is too high.

4. Once the beans have cooked, strain them, and reserve the liquid. Mash the beans with a potato masher, adding the reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.

    I was just about to post this recipe and found that you already had. I love these refried beans. I also like to make these and NOT mash them, and am left with tasty whole pinto beans as a great side. Also, these freeze and re-heat well, just add a bit more water to help loosen them up. - 5/10/09

    This is awesome! I love refried beans, and you cannot tell these have no fat in them. I used half chicken broth as the recipe suggests, and doubled the recipe. I had them with tortillas and fried eggs last night, and tonight we are having them with Spanish brown rice. I plan on freezing the rest - 2/25/14

    Love these and make them all the time. We skip the jalepenos, and up the cumin a smidge. - 2/4/13

    My husband hates beans but loves this. I am addicted to mashed potatoes and these have the same texture so they're a great protein-packed substitute. These are so good, I have to stop myself from eating the whole batch. - 5/12/10
