You all know by now that I am obsessed with my slow cooker. It truly is a lifesaver and there is nothing like coming home to a hot meal after a long day. We are back into swim season now which means practices every night. Every.Single.Night.

Don’t get me wrong, I actually look forward to sitting on the pool deck and relaxing for an hour, watching the boys work their little butts off. I also love that they come home thoroughly exhausted and ready for bed 🙂

So devious am I…

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

We are all about Mexican in our house. We take it however we can get it – burritos, tacos, enchiladas, nachos – we love it ALL! Since beans are a crucial part of any Mexican meal (at least for us…) I love making up these beans in the slow cooker, eliminating one part of the meal prep process at night.

These beans will pretty much blow you away with their amazing flavor and texture. No, they are not refried. They just look, taste, and act like refried beans but are infinitely more healthy.

Slow Cooker Refried Beans are the perfect accompaniment to your favorite enchiladas and make the most delicious bean and cheese burritos for a quick dinner later on in the week. I make my own homemade flour tortillas for maximum deliciousness.

Try this recipe once and I just bet you won’t be buying canned any more 🙂

    Can I ask about the amount of liquid? 8 cups of stock seems like a lot. Especially confusing is the note about adding more liquid if the stock doesn’t cover the beans – I would think 8 cups would be enough to cover the beans easily. So, before digging in to this, is the 64oz a typo?

    Please and thanks 🙂

      That would be correct Mark – the beans require a lot of water to cook completely.
