Step 1

Rinse the beans, then place them into a large bowl with 6 cups water. Soak them for 8 hours, or until tender and hydrated. (Be sure to follow your packaging directions). Drain the beans.

Step 2

Add the beans to a large pot or Dutch oven. Add 6 cups water, 2 tablespoons lard, onion, and salt to taste.

Step 3

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Partially cover the beans and simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally, or until the beans are very tender.

Step 4

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons lard in a separate large skillet or pot over medium heat. Cook the garlic for 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 5

Spoon the bean mixture into the pot and mash with a potato masher or fork until they are a mixture of chunky/creamy, or to your liking. Taste and adjust for salt and seasonings.

Step 6

Simmer the refried beans for 5 minutes to thicken.
