Refried Beans Crockpot Style...

This recipe is so easy, quick and you throw it all together and it takes care of itself. Here is the recipe:
4 cups of Dried pinto beans or black beans
1 cup of Dehydrated onions
1/2 cup of Dehydrated garlic
1 stick of Butter
2 small Bay leaves
1/4 cup of Cumin (more or less depending on your taste)
Sea Salt to taste
Coarse black pepper to taste
Filtered water to soak and then more for cooking in
Olive Oil 3 Tbsp

Soak your beans for a minimum of 4 hours. I usually do mine overnight. Drain the water then add new fresh water to cover the
beans about 2 inches above the beans.
Add all your ingredients to the crockpot, except the salt.
Let it cook on high until the beans are tender. Approx. 5- 6 hours
Or cook it overnight on low this way they will be ready for you at lunchtime. Turn them to warm whenever they are done until you are ready to use them.

Strain the beans reserving the liquid. Place the beans in a food processor after removing the bay leaves. Blend the beans
little, then add the olive oil. Now blend some more until they are creamy. Add some of the reserved bean water as needed to make it creamy and not pasty. Add slowly so that you do not make the mixture runny. Now salt it to your own taste. If you like your beans more chunky place them in a baking pan instead of the food processor and use a potato masher. Mash them to your desired consistency!

Dearest Lord, thank you for the many convenience appliances I am blessed to own! In Jesus name I pray, Amen~
