I love restaurant refried beans but cringe at the thought of what they put in them to make them taste so good :) I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and have made it a few times, a few different ways. Yummy and easy and it has no added fat!1 onion peeled and halved
3 cups dried pinto beans
2 T minced garlic
5 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp black pepper
1/8 tsp cumin
9 cups water
Combine all ingredients in crockpot and cook on high for 8 hours. Puree to desired consistency and adjust spices to taste. ( the recipe included some spicy peppers as well, but I left those out to be kid friendly)
Before serving I sprinkled a mexican blend cheese on top and heated in the oven. Tasted just like the restaurant!
This makes a ton of beans so I have some in the freezer as well for later.

yum! we'll have to try!
I've been making something similar for years and they are great. Mine don't call for onion but chopped raw bacon :-) I use a stick blender to mix them. These are great for a taco bar and so cheap!
I'm going to try these for Jon... I agree with you about the regular variety! Thanks for posting!
