I made another big batch of one of my favorites today: homemade refried beans in a slow cooker. (On a side note, why does my iPhone always want to autocorrect refried to be capitalized? Strange.)

This is the recipe that I use, without much adjustment. I usually just throw in a little extra jalapeño, since we like things hot.

When they’re done, I put them in the fridge for a while to harden a bit, and then freeze into meal-size portions with my vacuum sealer (if I put it in there right out of the slow cooker, it’s too liquidy for my sealer and gets a little messy).

Great for a variety of meals - tacos, nachos, even stuffed peppers! (Which I did one night when I was out of ground beef.)
