Time 10h15m

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 lb dried beans, soaked overnight
4 cups water
1 cup brewed coffee
3 minced garlic cloves, don't substitute powdered (optional)
1 bunch fresh cilantro or 1 cup celery & leaves, chopped with stems
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon salt, to taste

Steps:

Drain soaked beans and place in a crock pot along with remaining ingredients except salt. Make sure that the beans are covered with liquid by about 1".
Stir well, cover and cook on low all day, about 8-10 hours, until tender. Keep an eye on them and make sure they don't get dry.
Add salt.
Use a potato masher or heat safe (canning) jar bottom to mash well and stir with a wooden spoon.
Continue to mash and stir until desired consistency.
To freeze, put in a freezer Ziploc and flatten into a layer to freeze, or no more than 2" deep in freezer containers.

Tips:

Soak the beans overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking. This will help them soften and cook more evenly.
Use a large pot to cook the beans in. This will give them plenty of room to expand as they cook.
Add salt to the water when cooking the beans. This will help to flavor them.
Cook the beans until they are tender but still hold their shape. This usually takes about 1-2 hours.
Drain the beans and rinse them with cold water.
Mash the beans with a potato masher or food processor until they are smooth.
Add the mashed beans to a skillet over medium heat.
Add the spices, seasonings, and vegetables to the skillet. You can add whatever flavors you like to your refried beans.
