Refried Beans

This Recipe is pretty authentic.

1. Soak Pinto Beans overnight in water and then pour off the water and rinse continually until water is clear
2. Barely cover Beans with water, bring to a boil and simmer approx 3 hours!
3. Sauté lots of fresh garlic and chopped onions and add to the beans. Also add Bay Leaves and Cumin (lots)

   Now for the trick:

4. When Beans are tender, add salt to taste, remove from heat and mash them good with a potato masher.
5. Then put the mashed beans into a deep casserole dish and bake covered in the oven for approx 1 hour on 350° F.
