How to cook deliciously - Ultimate Refried Beans with Cheese

1 . Stage

Cover beans with 4 inches of water and soak for at least 12 hours, or overnight.

2 . Stage

Place the pot with beans and water on the stove and heat to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until much of the water has been absorbed and beans are soft enough to mash, about 2 hours.

3 . Stage

Crush the beans thoroughly with a potato masher. Simmer for 1 hour more.

4 . Stage

Take an immersion blender to the pot and pulverize the beans until there are no visible solids left. If any water remains, simmer until it evaporates and beans are reduced to a thick paste.

5 . Stage

Add milk, lard, garlic powder, salt, chile pepper, cumin, and cayenne and stir to combine. Cook for 10 minutes more.

6 . Stage

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

7 . Stage

Transfer beans to a casserole dish and sprinkle with Oaxaca cheese. Cover with foil.

8 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes, removing foil at the 15-minute mark. Serve immediately.
