Homemade Refried Beans

Homemade Refried Beans

Firehouse recipe from Jason, WAY better than canned and not too hard to do.  Clean and sort dried refried beans, as much as you want to make.  Rinse and add water, 1 cup of beans and 2 cups of water.  Bring to a boil, reduce to medium low and cook for about two hours or until beans will squish smoothly with your fingers.  Keep an eye on your water level and add more, if needed.  Get them past the grainy stage, you want them smooth.  Add milk, cheese and salt to taste.  Yum!
