HOW TO MAKE REFRIED BEANS EXTRA CREAMY AND DELICIOUS: Simple Down Home Recipe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2023
- 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.

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
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. 😊
@@marcyinspired1442qqq😊
Many years ago my Mom prepared a “Tostada Bar” for my little daughter’s BDay party. Her beans actually brought one of the guests to tears! He said they tasted just like his Mother’s which he missed so much!
It's a staple in this white boys home
True that @truss
Separate/clean beans was my job while helping my grandmother 👵🏼 🥰
Oh my gosh that beagle is precious.
This episode popped up in my recommendations but I've never seen your channel. While watching it I told my husband, "I know her from somewhere." I grew up in the foothills of El Dorado County and finally figured out you were my news anchor! It was your voice. So glad to find your channel and can't wait to catch up on your videos 🙂
Oh wow! That's crazy that you recognized my voice. It's been 17 years since I left KOVR in Sacramento. I'm a lot older, but also very happy just sharing simple recipes on my own time. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
@@marcyinspired1442 you are still as beautiful as I remember. I’ve already tried a few of your recipes and they have all turned out great. Glad you found a way to still connect with people and share what you’re passionate about. Thank you so much for sharing.
That is hilarious! I was sitting here thinking, her voice is so professional she could be on the news, 😂❤
Man there's nothing better than a homemade flour tortilla with fresh refried beans on bacon grease or chorizo honestly. As a kid growing up on these recipes and even now I'm glad to see other's who can relate to great simple recipes. ❤🤤
I'm pro corn 😅 but I understand !
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.
Staple for all people and race not just Hispanic. Thank you. Love your dog
I’ve never been much of a cook so I appreciate the lessons of the yummy basics
the puppy was hoping for a plate of beans , he was waiting patiently !🥘 🐶🤣🤪😂
This lady here is very nice ! It's relaxing just hear her voice and see the wonderful meals she creates 💯
Chicken stock! A great flavor booster.
Thank you for sharing a video without making us watch you count ever bean with music that puts us to sleep.
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.
Great idea!!
Doggo says “I’m a good boy. I like beans. Gimme some beans please”. 😂
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.
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.
Hey, a slice of onion and your set! I call that hillbilly food, we have that a lot here in southeastern Kentucky!
I made these today, I used chicken broth in place of water to slow cook the beans, I also cooked with chorizo to add a bit of flavor, they turned out great and the best I’ve ever eaten, thank you soooo much ❤
Sounds good. Just curious, when you used the slow cooker was it set on high or low?
@@RobertJohnson-lb3qz I set it on high, cooked until the beans were soft, about 4 hours, soaked them overnight
@@billwareagle7047 Yes! Thanks Bill. I already have the chicken broth. Gonna do it ASAP.
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.
The dog tells all. It's practically drooling.
Off camera marcy got some Hatch Chile's from the freezer and added them and did not share with anyone. 👍
🤣😂😂Does somebody know me!? Lol Be sure to watch next week. I make Borracho Beans with Hatch chile. They're SO good!🔥
Really happy to find and be sharing your channel. Thx!
Cue the applause track!
😂
The beans look so good!
Your doggie is very cute 😍
New to your channel. When cleaning my beans I throw in the half beans. I was taught at a young age that the halfs beans is what gives that extra juices and taste.God Bless
I love that you share recipes that are easily recreated at home. Thank you!
That's encouraging. I appreciate your feedback, and the fact you are watching!😊
I'll use olive oil or chicken fat 🎉
Love your little supervisor!!
Awwww chunky pup wants some too! Lol
O MY! You cleaned the beans by sorting them into the pot under the counter just like my Mom!!😍💕😍!!
I didn’t get the cooking gene from her and never can make them like hers😔I’m going to try your crockpot way. Thx!
That's awesome. I guess many moms teach their kids to do it that way. Hope cooking beans in the crockpot works for you.
Thanks for this Marcy😊 now I can complete my Mexican dinners with beans from scratch and not from canned...it always ruined the dinner for me because it wasn't 100% home made. Now I have all the necessary components to complete my authentic dinners🎉😊
That's awesome! I'm sure your family will appreciate that, as much as you do. 😋
Love beans boiled or fried. I add bacon slices sometimes an onion, a couple garlic cloves and a whole jalapeno or serrano w a slit on the side. Depending on what they're being used for but always add the bacon slices
Hi Marcy this brings me wonderful memories of my grandmother she always had refried beans & homemade tortillas & we were happy with that. Every morning she was up at five making her tortillas wonderful memories. Thank you ❤
Awe. So many shared memories in our culture. I love it!❤Thanks for watching!
Wow! Thank you sooooo much! I now know I've been over-thinking everything! Your advice really matters... I've been trying to get these right for 5 years since I've been to Mexico. LOL. I asked my old man (who is Mexican) many times how to make these.... and he's like "I don't know, I just eat them, I don't make them" LOL!! You're the best! :)
Too funny. Glad this video helped. This is just the basic version. You can, of course, get fancy with it, but I like keeping things simple. Thanks for watching!
I grew up eating rice and beans with homemade tortillas ❤️. I'm much older now. I can't have the rice or flour tortillas. I miss the old days 😢. Your beans looked great!!
I love Marcy Inspired Channel. She brings it back to home the closest possible, thanks Marcy..., !!!
Thanks you so much for such a sweet comment. I appreciate you watching.
I am making these refried beans today. I just put my beans in the crock pot. I am so looking forward to eating them. Thank you.
I love to add onions to my beans in the second half of the cooking time. I will even add onion powder to my string beans. Onions just seem to go perfectly with any bean.
Thank you for this, because I was really wondering why there were no onions in the recipe! Now I know when to add them. Thank you!
An old re.cipe here in Britain is dried marrowfat peas which I treat in the same way. To make it into soup I add garlic, a little celery and carrot and either gammon or bacon. I will definitely try your chorizo recipe with a little garlic. Thank you.
Honestly have never made these “from scratch” and appreciate you showing how easy it is!
Great tips on the beans. The chorizo looks right up my alley, so I will have to try with some fresh flour tortillas.
My husband tends to like the beans with chorizo more than just plain refried with cheese. Hope you like them, too. Thanks for watching!
The little old beagle wants some beans too 😊
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.
@911theanonymous what liquid do you add to your roux or do you add any at all. I see the ingredients for the roux
@@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.
@@911theanonymous thank you!👍🏻
Thank you! I miss my grandma’s refried beans the most! She used a huge pot. Slow cooked them on the stove. Added ham hock for flavoring. Then, white rice which thickened the batch. She has passed. Born in early 1900’s. Was half Hispanic and never claimed that part of her historical heritage in Calif.
Ooooh!! I'm excited! This gringo will certainly try these and ENJOY FOR SURE!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Texas Nana
I love the Ever Hopeful Doggie
Hi Marcy, I tried your Chorizo Refried Beans and the flavor was out of this world. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Cooking beans all the time but this extra Flavors will make the great difference!Thanks!
Thank you for blessing people, for blessing me .💖🙏
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.
Traditionally, cured lard is used, that's what's used in the mexican restaurants and that's how the beans get their flavor.
Beans are a must! And with chorizo is a bonus. They both look absolutely delicious 😋👌🏼♥️
I remember my mom helping my mom sort the beans, taking out the bad ones and the rocks. ❤
Grew up on beans. Granny would cook a huge pot of beans every Saturday for the next week. Refried leftovers were the best.
First, thanks for this! It may not seem like much of a recipe to you, but it's informative for us. I think this video would have been just a little better if you had demonstrated the difference(s) in consistency/dryness between "side dish" beans and "burrito" beans.
Ah man! You're so right! Why didn't I think to do that!? This is why it's so important to get input from others. I appreciate you watching and having a constructive comment. I'll have to work in the different consistency in another video down the road. 😊
@@marcyinspired1442, this would be extremely helpful. I love pintos but have only cooked them with ham Hocks and chopped garlic / onions / bell pepppers / jalapeno and served as a stew with cornbread... Lots of juice and delicious, but very different from the refried approach in your pan. The chorizo approach especially looks good and I'll try it. Thanks! We humans can always refine and improve our cooking by learning from others.
I never thought to add cheese or chorizo to refries but it’s a great idea…and little doggy seems to approve!
The puppy finds the skillet sound intriguing and comforting.
I used to hate how gassy beans made me. Now, I SOAK them for 24 HOURS, changing the water and rinsing well about four times, about every six hours. Then, I rinse well, place them in FRESH water and cook til done without salt. ABSOLUTELY NO FLATULANCE. GUARANTEED.
If you need to speed it up your first soak can be boiling water poured over the beans. Cover and let them cool to room temp. Drain, rinse, and repeat.
loved the part about cleaning the beans. our mom had us to that..there were lots of pebbles in beans back in the 60's!!!
wow thanks for the tip regarding salt - i have always put the salt in at the start and now i know why the beans are always hard - thanks! also i like your dog waiting for you to finish
Your videos and recipes are the best Marcy! I've made at least a half dozen of your recipes and every one of them has been of the highest level in taste, simplicity and quality!!! Thank You for bringing these videos and recipes to us, I'm always looking forward to them!🤗
Wow thank you so much for showing me how to make refried beans which are my very favorite I could eat them everyday !’ I am going to make these
You are the answer to my prayers!!!!
It’s what I’ve been meaning to make!!
Thx
I grew up next to a Mexican family. This is exactly. how they made their beans !
Thank you for this recipe!!!
This you tube is awesome, and everything you said about creamy refried beans makes a hole lot of sense, I’ve been only a outdoor cook but this year I’ve been learning about kitchen cooking indoors, thanks for sharing this ❤😇👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Your daughter sounds like a fantastic cook. I would love to try pork chops with nopales, now!
I always wanted to make homemade refried beans but never knew how to exactly. Thank you for sharing! I can’t wait to try this for my family!
I'll never forget the first time I saw your Mom making these! I just could'nt belive that they were the same beans! I was in such awe that you could make refried beans outta beans! I thought there was so much more to it or there was a secret recipe! To this day I think of your mom every time I start smashing those beans! See, people wanna know the secret!! Ha, ha! Thanx and great job!!
Too funny! The secret is out!
I’m definitely going to try both of these ☺️ Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for such clear and patient speaking!
I rinse mine, then soak.
Have a wonderful day!🙌🏼🕊💐
This is most Definitely a Keeper! We Love Refried Beans! And I will definitely make my own now!! Thankyou Marcy!!!!👍🏻👍🏻
One of my favorite comfort foods, thanks for sharing!! ❤
I almost didn't share it. But I guess, even though most people already make refried beans, they still like seeing something that reminds them of home.🥰
Thank you for sharing...you inspired me with th video back when I was a mother and it never gets old, luv yr little doggie.
I appreciate this cooking channel. Keep them coming!
I just found your channel. There are so many ways to cook beans, and yours is very simple. I appreciate the information about what happens when the beans are soaked. Thank you!😊
Haha! Yes, a very important piece of information, indeed.
Thanks Marcy! You've given me some great ideas to up my game. I LOVE Refritos, and am always looking for new ways to prepare them.
How simple and delicious looking
,
The dog is so cute and well behaved waiting patiently for a possible treat ❤🐶
There is nothing better than a beautiful senorita sharing a Mexican recipe for refried beans....thank you Marci
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.
Glad you found this video helpful. How cool that you dehydrate all types of beans. I've never tried that.
@@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! Thanks for all your videos. I’m doing your enchiladas next!
A piece of fatback at the start of cooking will add great flavor. I'm not Hispanic, but my late husband was Spanish, my maternal granny was Cherokee and she always put a big piece of fatback in her pinto beans and let them cook low and slow. 👍😋
Thank you. Looks delicious
Love your dog. He looks really friendly and relaxing to be around. Oh , thanks for making the video.
I always wondered how to make these, thank you very much❤️
Appreciate you sharing, thanks 👍🏼
That's how my grandmother and mom showed me to cook refried beans. And we also used it with chorizo, but these days I make my own chorizo and use it with refried beans from time to time..👍😎
Thank you Marcy. Can't wait to try this
Excellent. Thank you.
I like to add garlic powder, salt, pepper, some onion cut up in pieces, cilantro and a piece of ham hock in it while they cook…. Swear it’s the best recipe ever!!!
Looks so easy and delicious thank you so very much❤
I love beans so much . 🙏
Me, too. They're an absolute staple.
Luscious recipe!
Excellent. Thank you.🌟🙏
Looks great!
Oh thank you for all the yummy recipes
Thanks for sharing your recipe, I'm going to make both bean's and chorizo.
Thank you for sharing! I always wondered how the Mexican restaurants made their yummy refried beans!! Now I can make them at home ❤
Hi, I really like your thorough notes!
I'm glad you find them helpful. I try to put as much information in there as possible and answer any questions that may pop up. I've been wanting to shoot a video showing people how to access those notes because not everyone knows where the Description Box is.
What a great video! Thank you
Thank you for posting it, ive always used canned refried beans but id like to try to do them from scratch.
Looks yummy.
Love the classy look,sound and style of this channel!
I made your Mexican Rice yesterday. It was delicious! Thank you. I'll try the beans next.
These look like Heaven!
Thanks! Sometimes it's the simplest, most common foods that are the most satisfying.
