Ingredients

  • tsp pepper black
  • tsp cumin 
  • Tbsp garlic jarred minced
  • large onion chopped
  • lbs pinto beans 
  • Tbsp salt (This is the absolute max if you don't pre-soak your beans.)
  • 10 cups water hot

Equipment

  • potato masher
  • ziploc bags
  • slow cooker
  • colander

Directions

  1. Rinse the beans in a colander. Pick out any bad beans.
  2. Combine all the ingredients in the crockpot.
  3. Remove any floating beans. Cover, and cook on HIGH for 4 hours and on LOW for 2 hours.Uncover, and remove extra liquid. Leave enough liquid to reach the desired consistency when the beans are mashed. (We like our beans somewhere between the very-liquidy restaurant style beans, and the canned version of refried beans.)Mash beans with a potato masher to desired consistency.
  4. Serve warm. Store in air-tight containers in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks, or freeze in ziplock bags for later use.
