I created a recipe for Homemade Refried Beans. I prefer them to canned beans.
My recipe is at the end of this post.
Once you've tasted Homemade Refried Beans, it's difficult to go back to canned.

We eat a lot of refried beans in Texas. It's a staple ingredient on every Tex - Mex dinner plate.
As a Vegetarian, I'm never sure if the Refried Beans in a restaurant are Vegetarian. Traditionally they're made with Lard. I make my own at home. These are easy Vegetarian Crock Pot Beans.
We're planning to have a Tamale Christmas Dinner this year and I'll make these to accompany the meal.
These turned out perfectly. I don't think I'll ever buy canned Refried Beans again.
Crock Pot Refried Beans
1 - 2 lb. bag of Dried Pinto Beans
2 Onions, peeled and shredded in a Food Processor with the Shredding Blade.
8 Cloves of Garlic, minced. (I used 4 very large cloves)
2 TBS Cumin
The packet of Seasoning from the Bag of Beans
2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
11 C Water
Place the Beans in the Crock Pot.
Layer in the following order:
Onion
Garlic
Cumin
The Packet of Seasoning
Salt
Cayenne Pepper
Water
Do not stir!
Cover, cook 12 hours overnight on low. (8 - 10) hours on high.
I didn't stir them until after 2 hours.
Blend the Beans with an immersion blender until creamy smooth.
Serve with the following garnishes:
Pickled Jalapeno Nacho Slices
Shredded Queso Quesadilla Cheese
Sliced Green Onions
Sour Cream
Cayenne Pepper
Enjoy!
