Crock Pot Fat Free Refried Beans for the Freezer - OAMC image

It's nice to have some refried beans you can pull out of the freezer for a side with your Mexican meals without opening a can with all the extra fat. One side serving is 1/2 cup, which also makes about 4 tacos or burritos These are a great side dish, may also be used for burritos, and can be served as a main dish with plenty of shredded cheddar and salsa on top. Take the time and make these ahead. You won't be sorry!

These beans are a bit bland for my taste. I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my beans turned out a little too soupy. I'll try reducing the amount of liquid next time.
