Refried Beans Without the Refry

This has got to be the easiest and healthiest way to make 'refried' beans without any loss of flavour. You just plop everything in your slow cooker and walk away. Mine were done after 6 hours on high, and they may have been done even sooner, I only checked them at the 6 hour mark. Just super!

These were way too easy, flavorful and healthy, my husband and I both loved them! Thank you CaliforniaJan, I will be making these again and soon.

I made these in the pressure cooker. 35 minutes at 15lbs. I also added some chicken broth base in lieu of 2t of salt. Next time I may try ham broth base. I used the whole pepper, 'cause I love a little heat. They were very good, and I'll definitely use this recipe again.

These were yummy! I left out the jalapeno, since I was going to be serving my heat-leery kids, but even still this was a good solid recipe. I left some unmashed for burritos, and mashed some for Mexican Pinto Bean Dip. It worked beautifully for both. Thank you for posting. MAde for ZWT5, for the Groovy GastroGnomes!

These beans were very good texturally, but way too salty when following the recipe as described. I'll make again, but recommend leaving out the salt until the end and then adding to taste. I always try the recipe as described first, but wished I'd eased up on the salt.

These were excellent! So easy to throw together before leaving the house this morning. Husband and kids loved 'em! The question today was "to mash, or not to mash?" I left them unmashed pairing them with our quick and easy spinach chicken enchiladas, but will mash them for our tostado night next week. Thanks for sharing!

This was so good. I worried that it would not have much flavor, but it most certainly did! I also used a whole jalapeno and added 1/2 of a small scallion. Served it with Healthy Baked Corn Tortilla Chips (Homemade) Thank you for posting! I made this for *Zaar World Tour 4* 2008 the Wild Card round *South and Central America* I'm playing on the team *Tastebud Tickling Travelers* Go team go!

We had Mexican night at my house and these beans were a great side dish! I love the fact that these beans are low fat. I don't feel so guilty as I am shoveling them in LOL. We loved them, and will have them again soon, as we have Mexican often. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Such an easy way to make refried beans. Good flavor, no fuss. I used a cup of black beans and 2 cups of pinto beans and a whole jalapeno instead of a half, which was just right for us. Thanks for sharing!

These are fantastic! I almost forgot to throw them in the crock-pot this morning, they didn't make it in until about noon. I was worried, with the cook time being 8 hours, but they were done by 5:00 with no problem. I did boil the water before adding it to the crock-pot, because I was worried about the timing. I didn't add salt during cooking, because I've always heard cooking beans with salt toughens the skins. I added the salt at the end, and used less than 5 teaspoons. The flavor in this is absolutely perfect, thanks for sharing!

Nice flavor, easy too! I put all in the crockpot in the morning and in the afternoon we had this with rice and chile rellenos caserole. Thanks! Made for Everyday is a Holiday game.
