Refried Beans from Julie Christensen

Dry Pinto Beans
Water
Olive Oil
1 slice onion

Put Beans in pot and add twice as much water. Add a little bit of Olive oil and slice of onion. Boil for 1 hour. Continue checking pot and add water if it is going dry.

Add salt to your liking. I added quite a bit of salt. Simmer for 1 hour, or until the beans are soft enough that you can smash a bean with your fingers.

In a large pan heat olive oil and 1 more slice of onion. Burn the onion to get the flavor in the oil. Take the onion out and discard.

Mash the beans with a potato masher, or I put them in a blender and mashed them quite a bit. Fry the mashed beans in the hot oil.

When I make these, I make alot because they take so long. I put the beans into individual bags and freeze.
