Lisa's refried beans




I use about 6 slices of bacon for a 26.5 oz can of pinto beans. Fry the bacon and retain the drippings. Add the can of beans including all the liquid and simmer in the drippings for several minutes. While simmering I add garlic salt and ground cumin. Let the mixture reduce slightly before mashing,  but there should still be a good amount of liquid. While still over heat, Mash the beans with a masher or immersion blender to get desired consistently, then remove from heat and let rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. I do not use oregano or onion in my recipe.
