Ingredients:
1 package of beans (red or pinto)
1 cup Manteca oil
Salt (to taste)
Fill crock pot with water. Place whole package of bean in water. Cook on low over night or high for 4-6 hours. Once beans are done all the way through, heat skillet with ½ of the Manteca oil. Take a heaping spoon of beans with water mixture and add to skillet once oil had melted. Mash with potato masher until all the beans are mashed well.
Your beans will taste just like your favorite restaurant’s refried bean.
Please see some of our pot roast and stew recipes for some suggests with beans.
You can also add a teaspoon of Cumin to beans when mashing for a Smokey flavor.
You can also use a can of cooked pinto beans juice and all. Just dump the can of cooked pintos in the hot Manteca oil and mash, may have to add salt, and I strongly suggest adding Cumin (about a teaspoon) to this method just seems to taste more authentic with this method.
