Refried beans are a traditional Mexican bean dish. They're made by soaking the beans overnight, then boiling them for several hours, mashing them, and roasting them. But with a slow cooker, everything's quicker and easier. Dry beans don't require soaking, they only cook in 45 minutes, and you don't even need to overcook them. They'll have a velvety texture anyway, and the bacon they're cooked with makes them delicious. Refried beans can be served as a main dish, an appetizer, in tacos and burritos, or simply served with corn chips from a nacho bowl and enjoyed.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Set a 6-quart slow cooker to high heat and cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and the fat has rendered, about 7 minutes. Add the onion, pepper, garlic, beans, 4 teaspoons of salt, and 5 cups of water and stir.
Following the manufacturer's instructions, close the lid and prepare the multicooker for use. Set the pressure cooker to high pressure and cook for 45 minutes. After the pressure cooker cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's instructions for a quick release and wait for the quick release to complete. Be careful not to burn yourself with any remaining steam when you unlock and open the lid; stir everything thoroughly. - Using a potato masher or an immersion blender, puree the beans until they're completely mashed but the mixture is thick and chunky (refried beans should still be runny at this point, but they'll thicken as they cool). Transfer to a large bowl, let it sit for 10 minutes to thicken, and serve.
