Re: 30 Days of Crock Pot Recipes
I don't buy canned Refried beans anymore. I make them in the crockpot. Cook as described above by Loralee. Only add garlic and cumin. Then when soft, mash with a potato mashed adding bean water as needed for preferred consistency. We usually get 3-4 meals worth from 1 lb of beans done this way. Side dish sized servings.
Yesterday I made Brunswick stew. My method:
-leftover shredded pork chopped
-leftover chicken thighs chopped
-one onion chopped
-two small potatoes peeled and cubed
-bottom of jar barbecue sauce
-bottom of bottle of Wircestershire sauce
-cup or two tomato product- I used pasta sauce on hand
-you might add corn or green beans too if you like them or have them. We have issues here--Dh doesn't like corn in anything while I don't like green beans in anything.
Cook on low until potatoes are soft. Adjust seasonings to taste.
