I have been craving for refried beans since yesterday... I slow cooked a pound of DRY pinto beans... ($0.92 cents / lb of dry pinto beans at walmart: That has 13 servings after cooked!)
Instead of soaking them overnight, I just placed it in a crock pot covered with lots of water turned to low... and let it cook for hours... SET it and FORGET it! heheh
PINTO HUMMUS: (serves 1-2)
