Crock Pot Zesty Salsa Refried Pinto Beans Recipes

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER REFRIED BEANS

Steps:

• Pour dried beans in the slow cooker. Add shredded onion, garlic, cumin, salt and cayenne pepper. For a richer flavor, add a ham bone or a couple of bacon strips to the crock. Pour the water over the top of the beans and cover tightly. Turn slow cooker on high and cook for 8-10 hours. You can also cook on low for 12 hours or longer.Once beans are very tender, remove the ham bone or bacon if necessary. Depending on your slow cooker, you may have excess liquid in the crock. Scoop 1 ½ cups of the bean liquid out of the crock and reserve.Use an immersion blender or a potato masher to smash the beans into a relatively smooth texture. Add some of the bean liquid back in if needed to reach the right consistency. Salt and pepper to taste.Serve as-is or sprinkle with your favorite toppings. Serve warm.Note: Some optional topping suggestions include shredded cheese, sliced jalapenos, chopped green onions, sour cream, and cayenne pepper.
