INGREDIENTS

• 1 lb. bag dry pinto beans
• 1/2 cup onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 tbsp lard or bacon drippings
• salt, to taste
• 4 rings pickled jalapeno peppers, minced
• 3 tbsp jalapeno pepper juice

DIRECTIONS

• Cook the pinto beans, with the onion added, according to package instructions until tender. (Pinto beans make a delicious side dish.) Allow beans to cool. Place two cups beans into a zip-lock bag and add 1 cup bean juice to the bag. Remove air from bag and zip to seal. Beans freeze extremely well and can be used later to make refried beans or as a tasty side dish. (1 bag is about 3 servings.)
• To Prepare Refried Beans: Remove bag of beans from freezer. Thaw. Place beans and liquid into a sauce pan over medium heat. Allow beans/onion mixture to come to heavy simmer. Reduce heat and simmer until almost all liquid has evaporated.
• Remove from heat. Using a hand-held potato masher, mash the beans and onion until relatively smooth but still with a few "chunks" of beans visible. Add lard and stir beans gently to melt lard. Add jalapeno and jalapeno juice. Stir to mix well.
• Add salt to taste. Serve and enjoy!!
