How To Make This Slow Cooker Refried Beans Recipe:

*To make this recipe you will need your handy dandy slow cooker (or even your Instant Pot since it has a slow cooking function).

Then, place the halved onion, rinsed beans, chopped jalapeno, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and ground cumin into the slow cooker.

Then pour in the water and the chicken broth and stir everything up until the ingredients are well combined.

Now turn the slow cooker on and cook the beans on high for 8 hours, checking and adding water as needed.

NOTE: If more than one cup of water evaporates while it is cooking, the temperature is too high.

When the beans are done cooking, strain them with a wire strainer, and try your best to reserve some of the liquid.

Now in a serving bowl mash up with beans with a potato masher. While you are mashing, add in the reserved water from the beans as you need it to get your desired texture of the beans.

Making the Bean Dip:

To make the bean dip do all of the steps above and then add in the salsa, colby jack cheese, pepper jack cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, chili powder, and the ground cumin.

Mix everything together and let it cook in the slow cooker for a few hours on low to let the flavors meld together, then it is all ready to eat!
