Re: you were excepted of course.....

Trivia fact:  Refrito does not mean 'fried again' it means 'very well fried'


1 pound (2.5 cups) dried pinto or black (yum!) beans
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup melted butter, margarine, lard, or hot bacon fat
Salt



Rinse beans and place in large bowl.  Cover in cold water and soak for 12
hours at room temperature.  Drain.
Place beans & onion in a 3-quart pan and cover with an inch of water; bring
to a boil.  Reduce heat, cover, and simmer unitl beans are very tender and
mash easily (about 2 1/2 hours); add water as needed. Drain, reserving 1 cup
of liquid.
With a potato masher, mash beans until coarsely pureed (add some cooking
liquid if needed).  Stir in butter.  Return mixture to pan.
Cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high heat until butter is absorbed and
beans are very hot (about 10 min).  Season with salt.

6 to 8 servings
