2cupsof cooked pinto beans

1/2cupchopped onion
2clovesminced garlic
1tspcumin
1tsppaprika
1tspsalt
1/4tspchili powder
1/4tspblack pepper
Instructions
Prepare the beans by soaking them overnight in water. The next morning, rinse off beans and place in slow cooker with enough water to generously cover them. Sometimes I will use chicken broth instead of water. Let cook on high for about 8 hours.
1 cup of dry beans equals 3 cups of cooked beans
In a large pot, saute the onions in oil and then add garlic and saute for a few minutes. Add beans and other spices. I do put some water in the pot to make them a little juicy.
Once the beans have cooked down for a while, I will mash them with a potato masher until desired consistency. I like them a little lumpy.
