HOW TO MAKE REFRIED BEANS EXTRA CREAMY AND DELICIOUS: Simple Down Home Recipe

This is one of the most requested recipes I get, and to be honest, it's not much of a recipe so much as it is down home cooking. That said, I suppose there are a couple of tips for making Refried Beans extra creamy and delicious. So, I decided to break it all down as simply as possible in this video. I won't bother to write measurements, like I normally do. But here are a few answers to questions you may have:

When I cook beans in the crockpot, I cook them on Low for six hours. That's just how I do it. They can also be cooked on High if you want them done sooner.

If you cook beans on the stovetop, let them come to a boil, reduce the heat to Low and let them simmer gently for about 2 hours. Just keep an eye on them to make sure the water doesn't evaporate while they're cooking. You may need to add a little or the beans will burn. 2 hours is about the average length of time beans will take to cook, but it will depend on how many beans you're cooking and if you pre-soaked your beans. Use a fork to press down on them, and if they're tender enough to smash easily, they're done.

I find that beans keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If you don't think you'll be using them by then, you can absolutely freeze them. In fact, I sometimes cook large batches of beans just so that I can freeze them in small containers and pull them out when I need them. They keep in the freezer for about six months.

If you have questions, feel free to leave them in the comments.

These refried beans are sometimes called runny, sticky and retefritos…and the restaurants will serve their refried beans based on the dish being ordered.

… but the first secret is that it all starts with a good pinto bean recipe.

For Terry’s favorite pinto beans recipe we’re gonna use:

– 2.5 C of Casserole Pinto Beans – these our are FAVORITE brand of beans
– 2 Garlic Cloves
– 2 Strips of Thick Cut Hickory & Mesquite Smoked Bacon
– About half J & B Salt Pork
_ A little more or a little less of each ingredient, to your preference

and

– 2 tsp of APC OG, you can salt to taste later

The cooking process for these is super simple in the crock pot. NO soaking needed. You just need to set it to high to get them simmering and check it every hour or so with a little stir. Depending on the crock pot these should take about four to five hours MAX!

And BONUS! In this video we’re also gonna show you what I call the THREE STAGES OF REFRIED BEANS! Stage 1 is the runny bean, perfect for scooping up with a Mexican spoon. Stage 2 is a little drier bean cooked with a little lard perfect for spreading on a tortilla or on a plate. And Stage 3 we add a little more yummy lard and take them to a little toasty finish, incorporating all of the yummy crispy goodness from the bottom of the pan. I love these for chalupas because they won’t make your tortillas soggy and the flavor, oh baby is several notches above the other two.
