REFRIED BEANS WITHOUT THE REFRY
Refried beans made simple in a crock pot...a great and low fat alternative to canned beans. If you like variety, black beans can be substituted for part of the pinto beans. Note: Since reviewers commented on the salt, I've reduced the amount. If you think this may still be too much salt for you, add it at the end and to your personal taste. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Rinse and sort beans.
- Soak beans in the 6 cups water for 24 hours. Do not discard this water.
- Bring to a strong simmer. cover and continue strong simmer for 2 to 2 1/2 hours or until beans are tender.
- Add salt at this point only. Never before or while cooking. Remove epazote and discard. Keep all cooking liquid.
- Blend with food processor or stick blender if you are truly cool. I like to leave some chunks for texture. I also recommend using all of the cooking liquid. This is where the flavour lives. The beans may initially be quite thin but will thicken up.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cook on low 12 hours or high 8 hours. Add more water if necessary.
- Remove and discard bay leaf. Drain beans, reserving broth. Mash beans by hand with a potato masher, adding broth as necessary to achieve desired consistency. Discard unused broth, or use in other recipes.
Tips:
- Choose the right beans: Pinto beans are the traditional choice for refried beans, but you can use any type of bean you like. Black beans, kidney beans, and lentils are all good options.
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help to soften the beans and make them easier to cook. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute and then letting them sit for 1 hour.
- Use a slow cooker: A slow cooker is a great way to make refried beans. Simply add the beans, water, and seasonings to the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6 hours.
- Mash the beans: Once the beans are cooked, you can mash them with a potato masher or a food processor. If you want smooth refried beans, you can mash them until they are completely smooth. If you want a more rustic texture, you can leave some of the beans whole.
- Season the beans: Season the refried beans with salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
Conclusion:
Refried beans are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served in many different ways. They can be used as a dip, a spread, or a side dish. They can also be used in burritos, tacos, and quesadillas. No matter how you serve them, refried beans are sure to be a hit.
