Slow Cooker Refried Beans $0.15 per half a cup

The two words I would use to really describe everything about this recipe is as follows…

CHEAP and EASY..and no, placing those two words in a description does not always mean a bad thing; I mean come on guys just look at my blog for proof!

I’ve become fascinated with the whole “one pot meal” idea, which for a bachelor is a godsend for the whole week. I don’t even own a dishwasher(never have) so doing dishes is a more or less meditative process for me; similar to how marathoners describe running.

So I guess what I am saying is that I like the idea of keeping it simple….simplicity. If that means creating my meal in as few pots and pans as possible i’m all for it!

This is a totally straight forward recipe for a very basic refried beans so add anything you’d like…eg. cheese, tortillas, nachos, spices/seasonings.

I enjoy showing you an example of what i’m into and letting you guys run with your own idea and variations because everyone in however small or big a way is creative and it sometimes just takes practice to make it clear to some of us. If you’d like to show me your creations send me a message…Spoon up my friends!

*Tip- Using dried beans is cheaper than canned beans. Add dried beans to a bowl and add enough water to cover the top of the beans and let it sit overnight(no gas and huge volume!).

After the beans have cooked for about 8 hours drain and keep the excess water and start smashing the beans adding a little bit of that saved water back into the beans until your get a nice consistency. I like mine on the thicker side but if you enjoy a smoother dish just add more water. Now wasn't that one of the easiest things you've ever made in the kitchen? I thought so great job!
