Brenda's note: This is a keeper! We were impressed with how nice the beans cooked, soft and perfect; easily mashed right in the pressure cooker when they'd finished cooking.

NOTES : Pinto beans are traditionally used for refried beans but black beans are delicious also. Spice up or down as much as you like.
