CROCK POT REFRIED BEANS FOR A CROWD
I first posted this about a year ago, and I've been tweaking it a little since then. It makes a lot of refried beans, but I'm sure they would freeze well if vacuum packed. They taste delicious and are even better the next day. I don't buy canned refried beans anymore because these are so easy to make!
