Refried Beans
  1. Place your beans in a bowl and rinse with water. Make sure to remove any dirt or debris.

  2. Transfer the beans to a large pot and add 8 cups of chicken stock or water.

  3. Toss in ⅛ teaspoon of baking soda, salt, 1 yellow onion, 3 peeled garlic cloves, and 2 bay leaves.

  4. Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.

  5. Cover and cook until the beans are tender and creamy, which will take roughly 1.5 to 3 hours.

  6. Keep adding more water if necessary.

  7. When the beans are tender, mash with a potato masher or blend until smooth.

  8. Season with salt to taste.

  9. Add 2 tablespoons of butter to finish.

  10. Serve and Devour!
