Refried Beans
Living in Western China, pinto beans are rare, so I use kidney beans.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak beans overnight. Place beans in large pot with water. Bring to rapid boil, boil for at least 3 hours, adding more water as needed.
- 2
During boil you may add salt, spices, and bacon for flavor. At this stage I only add 1 tsp salt.
- 3
After beans are very soft, remove from heat. Drain liquid, reserving at least 250 ml of liquid for later use.
- 4
Chop bacon into small pieces, fry in olive oil until cooked, but not crisp. Add onion and saute until onions are cooked. Place in a bowl until beans are mashed.
- 5
Add a little more oil to the (now empty) pan. Add strained beans and mash using a potato masher or fork. Add reserved liquid as needed to make a medium paste of it.
- 6
Add bacon onion mixture, garlic powder, and cumin to taste. I found that even with bacon added, it still needed 1 more tsp salt.
- 7
These turn out much better if they are allowed to cook down to a semi-thick paste. It will also thicken when cooled.

I love this recipe because it is so simple and fully customizable. You can add more or less of anything to suit your taste, like if you prefer spicy, add 1/2tsp cayenne to give it a little kick, substitute the chili powder and cumin with a packet of taco seasoning. And you can multiply the recipe and freeze in 1-2cup portions for quick use in the future :ohyeaah

This is, by far, the easiest way to make homemade refried beans. It does take some planning ahead, but for the most part, this recipe is very hands off. These are creamy and nicely seasoned. They're not spicy, so long as you remove the seeds from the jalapeno. Feel free to substitute the pinto beans for black beans to mix things up.

Refried Beans: Mark 3 Refried Beans: Mark 3
This is a recipe originally taken from Leslie Koehn’s Brazilian Beans, but I altered it through trial and error to fit my needs. This resulted in a mix of healthy and delicious ingredients that will put any restaurant’s refried beans to shame.Note: After you learn to make it, neither restaurant nor store bought refried beans will ever taste the same again as your taste buds will only demand the rich flavors that only this very own dish can provide!
