Crock Pot Recipes - super easy refried beans in the crock pot

I love sharing crock pot recipes!

We eat Mexican food at least once a week.  Refried beans always accompany any Mexican meal in our home.

I usually make a big pot and freeze half for another meal in tupperware or a gallon size freezer bag.

Here is a super easy one to add to your crock pot recipes!

  1. Soak beans in water overnight

  4. put all spices and beef bouillon cubes and cook on low about 8 hours
  5. Drain beans and save about 2 cups of bean juice
