Homemade Refried Beans: Frugal and Fabulous

2 lbs pinto beans, sorted (remove dirt clods and stones) and rinsed
12 cups water
1 Tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons of garlic powder

Place all ingredients in a large crock pot. Cook on high for 3-4 hours. Use a ladle to scoop half
the cooked beans and liquid into a blender. Puree until smooth. Transfer beans to another dish
and process the other half. This freezes well, works great as a dip, is delicious just with a
spoon, and great for any recipe calling for refried beans. This makes about 15 cups of refried
beans.
