1 onion, peeled and halved 3 c dry pinto beans, rinsed 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped 2 Tbsp minced garlic 1 Tbsp salt 1/2 Tbsp black pepper 2 Tbsp ground cumin 9 c water Refried beans are a staple, and you can make them healthier, better and cheaper than store-bought. Stores very well in the freezer. Combine all ingredients in a crockpot, and stir to combine. Cook covered on high for 8 hours, adding more water if necessary. Strain beans and reserve liquid. Blend the beans with a hand-mixer (or mash with a potato masher), adding reserved liquid as needed to attain the desired consistency. Use remaining liquid as a soup base.
