How To Make homemade refried beans

• 1

  Measure out your 5 cups of dried refried beans, wash them in a collander pick out any bean that doesn't look good.
• 2

  ** Dig out that Pressure Cooker*** make sure you have a rack at the bottom of your cooker. Once you cleaned the beans dump them your cooker.
• 3

  Clean onion and jalapeno and rough chop put into pot(if you leave the seeds from the jalapeno the spicier the beans are)

  pour in broth , make sure there is at least half inch of liquid above the beans. Put top of pressure cooker on and seal.. start off on med for 15 minutes and then turn to HIGH until the pressure nozzle starts to dance then time it for 25 minutes. Turn off heat do not open until cooker is cool to touch.

  While cooker is cooling cook up your bacon all of it and save the drippings in a jar... dig out your cast iron skillet (as I have found that to be the best way to fry the beans)

  Once you have opened your cooker 3 ladels at a time put in a large bowl and use a hand potato masher to start mashing the beans .. once they are mashed ladel into hot bacon grease in your skillet, stirring to keep from burning, add bacon grease as needed through this process, repeat until all beans are out of cooker. Fry until desired taste and serve.
