Crockpot refried beans

3C Pinto beans
7C water
1 1/2 t salt
2T butter(or shortening)
then a few shakes (to taste)
of: garlic powder, Cumin, and chili powder.
put this all in a crock pot and cook on hi for 8 hours(or longer)
When done I use a hand blender and the beans just blend right up.
*if water boils out before time is done add more water, just enough to cover most of the beans.
this is my own recipe so let me know if you have trouble with it.
