These Healthy Crockpot Refried Beans are packed with fiber and protein, and are super easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups dried pinto beans, rinsed
- 6 cups water
- 1/2 onion, peeled
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Lawry’s seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- dash of liquid smoke (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse pinto beans, and place them in the crockpot with water, onion half, garlic powder, seasoned salt, cumin, cayenne pepper, and liquid smoke. Cook on HIGH for 8 hours.
- After eight hours, discard the onion and drain most of the excess water but reserve. Use a potato masher, or immersion blender to achieve desired consistency. Add back reserved liquid when blending as needed. I used my immersion blender to make my beans smooth, and on the thinner side. Remember that the beans will thicken up a bit as they cool.
- Taste the beans for seasoning, and add additional salt and pepper according to your taste.
