Ingredients
- 5 cups pinto beans rinsed and picked over, dried
- 7 cups water
- 2 2/3 cups chicken beef or vegetable stock (2 - 11 oz. cans)
- 1 white onion chopped, medium
- 2 tablespoon granulated garlic
- 2½ tablespoon cumin ground
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoon dry adobo seasoning
- 2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoon salt to taste
- Garnishes:
- cheddar cheese optional, grated
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients, except for the salt and pepper to the crock-pot. Cook on high for about 9 hours. Adjust salt and pepper after about 8 hours. After the 9 hours the beans should be tender and a bunch of them will have popped open. If they are not quite soft, let them go for a while, checking every half hour for done-ness.
- Use an immersion blender or potato masher to smash the beans to desired creaminess. I like mine a bit chunky. Add more water as needed! Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Traditionally, frijoles refritos were placed in a cast pan with lard and fried (hence the term refried) and mashed by hand, adding lard as you go to make a creamy paste. But I find this step unnecessary.
- Serve with shredded Mexican cheese (optional).
- Note This makes a huge batch (about 4 quarts) but the quantities can be reduced or the leftovers can be frozen up to 2 months.
- Inspiration for this recipe came from Food, Folks and Fun
