Homemade Refried Beans

Name: Homemade Refried Beans
Ingredients: (Feel free to cut this recipe in half- it makes quite a lot. However, they also freeze well.); 4 cups cooked pinto beans (You may used canned whole beans if you like. I prefer to use dry beans and cook them myself. Directions follow below.); 3 T. healthy fat for sauteing (Butter, coconut oil, beef tallow, or lard would all work here. Avoid olive oil as it isn’t stable at high temperatures.); 1 cup chopped onion; 5 cloves minced garlic; 2 1/2 t. cumin; 2 t. paprika; 2 t. sea salt; 1/2 t. chili powder (more or less- the intensity of chili powders seems to vary); 1/2 t. black pepper; Milk, as needed (water or bean broth can be used if your family is dairy-free. However, I prefer the richness that the milk adds.)
