Crockpot \"refried\" beans

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1poundsPinto beans, washed (no need to soak)
6cupsWater (I use bottled spring) (up to 8)
3largesCloves of garlic, peeled and split into several slivers (up to 4)
6Inch strip of kombu (sea vegetable)
Salt

Directions

Place washed beans in crockpot with 6 cups of water, garlic and kombu. Cook on high for 6-8 hours, adding extra water (if the beans look too dry) and stirring from time to time. Mash with potato masher after about 8 hours and season to taste with salt or Fiesta brand "pinto bean seasoning".

The garlic and kombu cook down completely and along with the seasoning make this a very flavorful dish.
