Refried beans


Rinse and sort through a 1 pound bag of pinto beans.
Into the crockpot, add the beans, a finely chopped onion, a few minced gloves of garlic, lots of black pepper, and cumin, chili powder and salt to taste.  
Add 8 cups of water.
Cook for 7 hours on high.
Discard some but not all of the liquid and mash with a fork or potato masher.

Added in Ancho powder, a little cayenne, a small can of diced green chiles and some pickled jalapenos.

To cook in the pressure cooker-
Use a mix of broth or water for a total of 7 cups.
Place all in the pot and cook on high for 55-60* minutes, natural release for 25 minutes and then quick release. 
Remove but do not throw away, some of the liquid and then use a stick blender to get to the desired consistency, adding liquid back in as desired. 

* We needed to add more time to this recently.  We are at high altitude.
