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

[@lahaza6515]

Oh my gosh that beagle is precious.

[@angelinarojo3990]

This is a staple in EVERY Hispanic home. When I cook them in my house the smell can literally bring me back to walking in to my mom's house, grandma's house, or an aunts house. ❤ Sometimes my husband is happy just to have beans, cheese, and tortilla for dinner

[@marcyinspired1442]

That is so true! I was named after my tia Marcela, who had a tiny little kitchen where she always made thee BEST beans. Sometimes, just the smell transports me back into her kitchen and makes me miss her so much. Thanks for the comment. 😊

Thanks for my refresher course. I was probably 10 years old when I first started bean’s cooking for my mom. My grandmother step by step. I’m retired and eat out quite often but I miss homemade refried. I love the choleso and beans. Thanks again.

[@lakehousefor2]

I refry my beans with butter and mash them to the point of dryness without adding anything to them so I can spread them on a tostada then add ground beef, shredded lettuce, bits of tomato and pico de gallo.

[@Juju-bm1sh]

I’ve never been much of a cook so I appreciate the lessons of the yummy basics

[@LKMNOP]

When we used to soak beans overnight we always used to add about a teaspoon or so of baking soda. That would help release some of the gas in the seeds making them just a bit more "burp-less" when you make food later from them.

They look delicious. I grew up in a large family with 12 siblings. Needless to say, we had beans almost every day in one form or another. After I was a man I discovered Great Northern Beans. I like them even better, Later in life I learned to cook them in the slow cooker. I think that is the best way to cook them with fat back and corn bread and fried potatoes. Thumbs up to your videos.

[@diazfamily2143]

I have learned to make a simple pot and divide it into canning jars while hot still. I do add a small amount of sea salt to help preserve it. I allow them to cool on the counter. The jars will seal themselves this way. Once at room temperature, I store them in the refrigerator. They actually keep for weeks with this method. I am able to use smaller portions this way when needed.

After beans are completely cooked we make a roux with oil or bacon drippings or lard with flour. We add it to the pot and it makes the beans super creamy also. Love your cooking.

[@sherrywilliams409]

@911theanonymous what liquid do you add to your roux or do you add any at all. I see the ingredients for the roux

[@911theanonymous]

@@sherrywilliams409 I make the roux with bacon drippings (you can use oil or lard also). If it’s a big pot of bens I’ll use 3 tablespoons of drippings and 3 tablespoons of flour. Always use the same amount of drippings/flour. Let it cook stirring it until almost gold color then pour the roux into the pot of beans. It will thicken them and make them creamy. Make sure your beans are still simmering.

I love refried beans but I didn’t know how to make them. I always just bought them in the can even though I use dried beans all the time. This makes all the difference in the world! I’ll be making them this way from now on and forgetting the canned beans. I actually have dehydrated all types of beans after soaking and cooking to have ready in less time. I’m going to rehydrate some pinto beans today and fry them up tonight! Thanks so much. In the past, I just tried to fry them without the liquid…….so they were flavorless and dry, as you can imagine.

[@marcyinspired1442]

Glad you found this video helpful. How cool that you dehydrate all types of beans. I've never tried that.

[@twinfin8571]

@@marcyinspired1442 . Thanks. I use beans the regular way with overnight soaking if I think ahead. But I love to dehydrate them so I can ways just throw them in soup or a casserole or burrito at the last minute. (Well. It’s more then a minute cuz you have to rehydrate them if it isn’t soup! Lol.) Dehydrate slowly…..and long so they are completely dry. Then I just store them in any glass jar. They don’t need oxygen absorbers or anything special. It’s 10 am and someone wants beans and rice tonight…..got it! 😉Northern bean soup?….right on it! Cheaper and better then can. The getting beans dehydrated takes time….but not work. Soak one-two nights, cook during the day, dehydrate that night, put in a jar. I make a few jars of different beans a couple times a year or whenever they start to get low. Give it a try!

Thank you, Marcy. I always like to watch the different ways of cooking. But, my 98 yr old MEXICAN mother WOULD NEVER make beans in a cooker or crockpot…my sisters have tried..nope, no way! She cleans the beans with warm water, pours them into about 2 cups of boiling water, covers with lid, letting it slightly vent adds Monteca ( Mexican lard). Cooking/ boiling beans for about 1 1/2 hrs, add warm( not cold )water as needed to keep boiling. Keep checking until you can squeeze a bean between thumb and index finger or squish with a fork. You can then take the pot of the stove and leave lid until dinner time. - Smashed beans, same as Marcy did. - Adding Chorizo, same,but I make tacos when I don’t feel like having meat. - add you can have scrambled eggs with chorizo and beans! ❤️

A way I make my beans is with homemade salsa. I puree the veggies and cook the beans in that with chicken stock, then once they're done mash and refry them and cook down the liquid. The flavor is phenomenal and the texture is creamy but light from the veggies.

[@williammason1932]

Bacon grease! I tried making these for years before I figured out that the "secret ingredient" was bacon grease (in the skillet when frying them). Also some ground thyme when boiling the beans or 'croc-potting' them. I'm glad you mentioned the bacon grease :) . Also make sure you put the croc-pot on high (in case that's not mentioned in the video)

[@marcyinspired1442]

[@bayanon7532]

Try epazote. It is a leaf of a plant. You can sometimes get it at little Mexican markets in the produce section but more easily, you can get it in the little bags with the various dried chile peppers. The dried bagged stuff often has many stems as it seems they just chop the whole plant up. I remove all of the stems and put it into a jar. Anyway these are often used in frioles.

[@donkemp8151]

Bacon grease is the secret ingredient to all sorts of dishes.
