Homemade refried beans perfected


I finally did it!  I made the perfect batch of refried beans today from scratch. I'm so proud of myself. Thanks to a co worker who is a paid chef I found a method that worked great.
Things I did different: soaked for 1 hour then drained and put into the crockpot.  Then I put garlic, dried onions and salt into the water. As they cooked I stirred the pot to ensure flavors where mixing. Tested bean softness until I got to the perfect consistency. Then hubby ladled the beans into a pan, added lard and mashed them up. The flavor was great. Not bland like before and texture was awesome too.
