These easy slow cooker refried beans are incredibly flavorful and creamy. By cooking them slowly, the beans absorb all the delicious flavors of onion, garlic, and jalapeno, resulting in a perfect side dish or dip for any occasion.
Ingredients: 1 pound dried pinto beans, rinsed and sorted. 1 onion, chopped. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced. 1 teaspoon salt. 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. 6 cups water. 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Instructions: Place all ingredients except olive oil into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until beans are very tender. Once cooked, remove excess liquid from the beans. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the beans until desired consistency is reached. Stir in olive oil and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish or as a dip with tortilla chips.
