Recipe - Crockpot Refried Beans

1 pound Pinto beans, washed (no need
to soak)
6 cup Water (I use bottled spring)
(up to 8)
3 lg Cloves of garlic, peeled and
split into several slivers
(up to 4)
6 Inch strip of kombu (sea
vegetable)
Salt

Place washed beans in crockpot with 6 cups of water, garlic and kombu. Cook
on high for 68 hours, adding extra water (if the beans look too dry) and
stirring from time to time. Mash with potato masher after about 8 hours and
season to taste with salt or Fiesta brand "pinto bean seasoning".

The garlic and kombu cook down completely and along with the seasoning make
this a very flavorful dish.
