Refried Beans
2 cups Augason Farms Pinto Beans
5 cups water
1 large onion
1/2 to 1 cup bacon drippings or butter
Salt to taste

Combine beans, water and onion.  Bring to a boil.  Cover and remove from heat for 2 hours.  Drain and rinse.  Cover with water and bring to a boil.  Then simmer slowly until beans are tender (about 1 - 1 1/2 hours).  Start mashing the beans a portion at a time in the oil.  To achieve the unique flavor of refried beans, slowly fry the starches inside the beans in the oil.  Mash a little at a time to achieve the desired results.  Salt to taste.
