I just made these beans today using ham flavored broth, and oh my goodness, they are so good! I used the same spices, and in one jar, I added a pinch of red pepper flakes. Can't wait to see how that one tastes! My house smells amazing.
I know this is an older video, but with the crazy store stockings issues I thought I should lean this as we eat refried beans often. It is about amazing! I canned them yesterday and used a jar last night what a hit! Thank you
This is the video that inspired me to buy a pressure canner. I can now have my beans in my pantry whenever I need them. Instead of defrosting my freezer beans. Yay to you. Keep up your awesome work. I love always learning
Thank you!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing, I pretty much live on Itslian & Mexican and am mew to fanning.
I wanted to mention I used this recipe this morning. I put up 12 quarts. I normally keep a good supply of canned beans. Some of them spicy and some ready for re-fry. Tomorrow I am canning split pea soup. Having cans of soup, meat etc sure comes in handy for camping, traveling. Good home cooking and zero preservatives

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 I am new to this canning stuff, and I was wondering if I possibly could add fresh onion, garlic, and maybe even a little jalapeño to the jar? And does it need to be water or can I use broth? PLEASE help me, I have contacted fresh preserving through ball and nobody has ever gotten back to me. Oh, and what about adding some kind of meat like bacon or ham hock? Thanks for the info
We must be of kindred spirit as I have done the same exact thing. 18 qts of beans and next session will be split pea soup w/ham. Good luck!
@@jennifermack5804 hi Jenn. Not sure if anyone replied to your question. I just saw it this very moment. I all all of those things to my beans. If I add whole jalapenos then I place a small slit length wise to the pepper. I cook chili beans in a crock pot and even can that. Just make sure your jar rim is clean with vinegar before sealing and check it sealed after. Have fun.
Thank you for your wonderful recipes!
Mind blown. Seasoning the beans never occurred to me. Thanks for sharing .
Look Amazing, I will can this recipe. Thank you
Canning these today for the second time. First time they were gone too fast. This time I am canning a huge amount. I am giving my son a case for his birthday!
Just recently found your channel! I appreciate your attention to safe canning practices and sharing of your thought process as you can various foods. Also love all the beans!
Love it! I’m making these tomorrow!
I canned 15 pints a while back with this recipe and I just want to say how delicious they are. My husband was strictly a black bean man but these he cant get enough of. Thanks again for this wonderful recipe and I will be making another batch soon. My mom and dad are really enjoying them as well. I love how quick they turn into a meal when you dont know what to a make just grab a jar and make a quesadilla and some beans and hot sauce and there you are. Thank you!!
I made these yesterday. I had 1 quart that didn’t seal so I tasted them and they are very delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Can’t wait to try these. Just found your channel and appreciate what you share.
Sally Alonzo thank you! 💕Carol
Inspired to get me an American canner. Thanks, going to watch more of your videos.
Elaine Guevara yay! I love my All American canner. Worth every penny. Thanks so much for watching 💕Carol
This is how i do mine! I just add cumin, paprika and onion powder.... yum. I love your canning videos! You make it look so sressless!!!
Hi Carol, I have just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed. I love to can, it takes me back to the days of growing up on a farm and helping my mother and grandmother can . Mexican food is a favorite of mine also, I am very excited to try this.😊
Kathy Johnson thank for watching and subscribing 😍
They look super scrumptious, Carole. I love canning beans, but now I’ll be canning your recipe. It looks delish, and I know it will be. Love watching your canning videos. You’re a super duper instructor! Jo
Jo Dunlap hi! Nice to hear from you. Hope all is well 😍
I just love your content please keep it up also I love your delivery style
Chet Reed thank you for your kind words and encouragement. And thanks for watching! 💕Carol
I am doing your canning recipe right now. I am new to canning and this is the second time I am trying a pressure canning recipe. I don't know that I did it correctly last time but all the cans sealed. Your video helped me understand the rocking principle on the weight.
Found your channel from Linda's Pantry. I love to can, now you are teaching me more thank you so much.
Terry Russell Linda was so kind to refer me. In fact, I started canning because of her 😊. Now I am addicted to canning lol. Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to try this! Love your videos
GiGi Marino thank you! 😊💕Carol
I canned these yesterday! My husband and I just tried them! Soooooo good. We smashed them and heated them and ate a pint jar with chips! Heaven! Thank you so much! My husband said they were better than any restaurant!
Leslie Hobbs love this! 💕
I have so enjoyed watching your video's. I will be referring back to your page time and again. Keep bringing us great videos with great content. Thanks so much! 💖
Tammy Dudley thanks for watching 💕
Thanks !!
I don't have a canned but I enjoying watching you thank you .... good night...buenas noches
I have canned beans and even put in spices but when you said jalapeños I wondered if I could make these for bean dip? I have the copy cat recipe. Love it
thanks for the great videos!!
Sarah Tudor thanks for watching! 😊
Went to store today to make and can baked beans excited
jennifer milam I’m excited for you! 💕🥰
Awesome, will be making this tomorrow :)
From this Mexican Mama, your beans look absolutely delicious. Your spices mirror what I put in mine. I'm enjoying your channel. Jane
ShesInLosAngeles what a sweet compliment, thank you! My love of Mexican food has driven me to experiment until I get it right 😉. Thanks for watching. 💕Carol
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 💙🌹
This recipe was spot on. The spices were perfect. Loved it and I will definitely can it again when we run low.
I can my beans, then I also can browned hamburger that way they are ready for a quick supper if I forget to take something out of the freezer for supper. I sometimes use the ground beef for spaghetti too!
I love watching you! I learned to can from my MIL years ago. When we canned it was ALWAYS a weekend project. I like your videos because you do manageable projects. I am learning to do one batch at a time, when I have the time. It doesn’t have to be a drawn out back breaking process. I guess back in the day, they had to do it that way?? Thank you so much for your inspiration.
AmyBeth thank you for your kind words! Yes! Small batch canning is wonderful. We’re empty nesters so I don’t need to do large batches and I love how small batch canning fits easily into a busy schedule 😉. Thank you for watching and supporting my channel 😍
I’d forgotten about “canning day”, and yes it was something I didn’t look forward to because it was such intense work! So glad I’ve watched so many videos lately that have taught me, a different way to pressure can foods.
Thank you!!! I’ll be canning these today! :)
Mom Of6 it’s always a great day for canning! 😊
Thrifty Chic Housewife it sure is! I have your BBQ pork lined up right after this batch, as it’s a huge hit in this house! 😁
Mom Of6 my favorite compliment 😊💕
I put up a batch of your Mexican Beans, and found out that cumin is not a spice that we like any longer. Used too, but I guess our tastes changed with age. Now I mix it with canned plain beans and it is perfect for our tastes. Then I added a box of Rice-A-Roni in the Spanish style for a side for lunch one day, and husband and I loved the combination. Will be eating it this way for a fast lunch. Thanks for the recipe!
Your cumin spice could be getting old, which will change the flavor.
Thanks for making and sharing all your videos with us. I am so glad I found you. I have learned so much from you. I also love the fact that you do safe canning. I am 60 years old and just started canning, but always wanted to but I was so afraid of making my family sick with that "B" word. I have a question....... What kind of salt did you use and is it ok to use the canning salt in this recipe instead of iodized salt?? THANKS
I just found your channel. I've done the BBQ pork, baked beans and these today. I love them! And so does my family. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Two ideas about beans:
1 if you use more than one kind of bean, it cuts down on the flatulence
2. Epazote is a Mexican herb that also cuts down on flatulence
Anne Brasher welcome! And good to know! 😉 💕Carol
I didn't know about decreasing flatulence. But it also adds a very nice flavor.
I'm going to made this over the upcoming weekend. Sounds yummy. Do you have a recipe for lentil soup that you have canned?
easy way for me also never done yet
Hi Carol. I know this is an old video but today is the first time I watched it. I canned some pinto beans, today,,,3 pints in the Instant Pot Max. It has a canning feature built in. I have a regular stove top canner but I love just plugging the Instant Pot in, pushing a few buttons, and letting the machine do the rest. I used salt and onion powder in my beans. I used generic lids on my jars and the all sealed. Hallelujah! 😀
Hi! I’m sorry but the IP is not safe for canning nchfp.uga.edu/publications/nchfp/factsheets/electric_cookers.html
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Actually, I've watched Pam from Rose Red Homestead use the Instant Pot Max for pressure canning and she tested it with a data logger to make sure that the food reached a high enough temperature, inside the jar. She is at a high elevation and it worked for her. I'm at 30 ft. above sea level. So, I'm sure enough that the food is safe to eat to risk it. Thank you for your concern, though. You might want to check out some of her videos.
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 I know the older models of the IP cannot do pressure canning but the Max can.
And,,,,I've eaten food I canned in the Max. I didn't get sick and I'm still here to talk about it. 😁
I cook my beans in a slow cooker with all the spices and then just before canning I add fresh green chili.
Don't that overcook them being cooked twice?..I've honestly only done rebel canned beans from raw state,that's why I'm here to see how long to pre soak n cook n how much cooked beans to put in jar..
I am new to canning, just trying water bath this week for the first time. Did some dry oven canning of dry items, thought I was hotsy totsy. And at 6:50 I think you answered my question...even if the bean is totally cooked, it MUST MUST MUST be pressure canned? DRATS! I have an expensive glass cook top and the pressure canning has me crazy nervous. I was hopeful I could do water bath for a cooked bean. Woman, you burst my canning bubble. 😥 Which I am supposed to do that with that pokey thing right?🤣
I have been canning for several years but just discovered your channel a few days ago and love it! Today I canned this Mexican Pinto recipe. One jar didn't seal so I opened it up to taste it. It was very bitter. Have you ever experienced that with pintos? I searched online and think it must be the age of the beans or our well water. I washed them very well, soaked them overnight, drained and rinsed them again, then put in clean water to boil for 30 minutes. They do smell wonderful.
Donna Currie glad you’re here! I’ve never had a problem with my beans being bitter. But I agree it could be the age of the beans. I always check the date on the bag . But I think more likely it’s your water. I try to use filtered water when I’m canning. Softened water is recommended for canning. Well water can cause off flavors as I understand it. I don’t have a well so I can’t speak from experience. Have you ever had anything else you’ve canned taste bitter or off? I’m so sorry this happened. That’s disheartening to put in so much work for them to not taste good.
Donna Currie something else that came to mind is Flat Sour. If you’re not familiar Flat Sour happens when you leave your jars in the canner for too long after processing. After you remove the lid on your canner remove your jars promptly to avoid it. 😊
I let it sit 10 minutes after removing the weight then took off lid and removed immediately. I had never heard of flat sour before a few days ago. I always remove my jars after the 10 minutes. Thanks
Donna Currie I’m sorry. I’m not sure what else it could be unless it’s just the beans. I even checked with some Master Food Preservers I know and flat sour or old beans was all they could come up with. I wish I could be more help ...
I know this is an old comment, but some people say garlic powder or just garlic tastes bitter to them after they've canned it. I think it's an individual taste bud thing, I've heard another youtube talk about it.
when adding spices first they seam to stay on bottom of jar is that cool
Yes, they will always make their way to the bottom 😊
What brand pressure cooker do you use for canning ? About to start pressure canning and trying to find the best suggestions.
Thank you for sticking to and explaining canning guidelines. Love it!
I have an All American 915. I love it as I find it to be the perfect size and will last a lifetime. If it’s in your budget I highly recommend it as youll never need to replace it 💕
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thank you! Easing into the homestead life and happy to find your channel!
How similar are the ball book and the all new ball book?
Hi there, love the recipe. I watched the canning beans information video first. So 3 questions please:
1. Do you recommend I fill the jars with beans 2/3rd full?
2. Can I use fresh hot water from my jug rather than the par boiled liquid?
3. Can I use Borlotti beans?
Thank you. Very appreciative of your videos ❤
Hi! Yes about 2/3rds full, yes to hot water, and you can use any dried bean
Many thanks 😊
The canning cook time is for dry beans or fresh out the garden. I’m not sure if it makes a difference but we are new to canning.
Brandon Purselley times given are for dry beans. It is my understanding only green beans, wax beans, Lima or butter beans can be canned from fresh.
Just bought a presto 23 qt pressure canner so anyone out there listening please send me , I would definitely appreciate it & Thanks
Great video. Would love to see a video in how you make your refried beans from the can. Sounds silly, but I have always been curious do you put oil/lard in a pan, additional spices... then start mashing! Be fun to see.
Nan's Fam here is the link to my refried beans video. So easy and really delicious. I meant to link it but I forgot 🤷♀️... sorry. 💕Carol

@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thanks, going to take a peek now!
I’m just now starting to get interested in canning. I make very good spicy pinto beans that I would like to can. I use a large ham bone. Am I able to precook the beans the way I normally do but maybe undercook them before canning them? They also have a can of rotel in them. Can the tomatoes from the rotel be left in the beans when canned? I also use these beans for refried beans!
Yes to both
What type of of salt do you use? I use kosher and pink hymalayn, that ok
Both are fine
Could you also do this without soaking and parboiling? I normally can dry beans.
It isn’t safe to can dry beans. Processing times were developed using rehydrated beans
Could you use fresh garlic in this recipe for canning?
Elizabeth Rowe yes :)
Can I cook the spices and onion in with the beans?
Yes
Can you add all the ingredients during the par cook stage?
Dan Cain yes you can but it might be difficult to gauge exactly how much liquid you will need 😊
So just to clarify...you soaked them overnight, draining the water. Then boiled them for 30 minutes, draining that water. Then added them to your jar with the spices, adding new hot water?
Also, did you say pint jars process for 75 minutes? Thanks!
Ok so I tried this, made 4lbs +/- of dried beans soaked overnight and all day, in pint jars (what I had on hand) I think I may have filled them too full of beans and not enough water because they’ve pretty much soaked up most of the liquid and what is left is very thick looking. Also parcooked for 30 mins as suggested. Spices also pooled on bottom of the jars. Made 15 pints exactly. What did I do wrong? They’re still ok to eat, right? All sealed beautifully. Love pressure canning, but very new to beans. :o
Danielle Diakoff-King I’m sure you didn’t do anything wrong. This has happened to me. I’ve learned beans still swell some even after soaking and par cooking. Your spices will always find their way to the bottom of the jar, no problem. You may find the top layer of beans may darken since they’re not covered with liquid but they’re still fine as long as your seal is in tact. You can discard the discolored ones if you choose. Just add more water to reheat your beans. Your beans should be fine to eat as long your jars sealed (always check when opening to eat). Next time fill jars 2/3-3/4 full of beans then add liquid and always make sure to debubble as you may be able to add more liquid once air bubbles are removed. Hope this helps 😊💕
Thrifty Chic Housewife ok next time I’ll have to get bigger jars. I’ve never seen pint and a half for some reason... I think I was a little greedy with how many beans I wanted to fit. Glad they’re ok. I don’t mind the darker beans. Thank you!!! 🙌
Can it be cooked beans made with verious vegetables with spices onions garlic and and stuff like a beans stew.
After cooking, how long can it last ? And how do you eat it after lets say a month or a few months? How long does it keep after opening the jar? How safe is this ? Is it safe enough to be sold. What does the law say about this? Why isn't the shops using this method instead of chemicals and preservatives?last question... do you have to use a pressure cooker only? Can't it be a a normal big saw pan ? Sorry about the long essay.... I'm new to this.... I cook lovely beans but I'd love to sell them as my friends love it.
I don't have a pressure canner can I use my water bath canner?
I’m sorry but no. Beans are a low acid food and must be pressure canned to be safe to eat 😊
Can I use the quick soak method for this?
Absolutely. That’s what I always do 😊
Sometimes herbs get too strong during the canning process. Have you rested them yet and how do they taste?
Patty hi! Yes, I’ve rested them and made my refried beans with them. They were delicious and in my opinion better than adding the spices after opening your jar of plain beans. I will continue to make them this way. I was very happy with the results. Thanks for watching 💕Carol
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. This is great to know. I really like your channel and wish you much success.
Patty thank you! 😍
hello, noob canner question here. it sounds like your beans are still somewhat hard as you put them in the jars. do they finish cooking during the canning or do they need to sit in the jars for X amount of time? or am I wrong and are they soft already when you put them in the jars?
joe doe hi! Yes, you are correct. My beans weren’t fully cooked. I soak them overnight drain them, add fresh water then bring them to a full boil. Strain them to add to the jar (after adding my spices) to 1” headspace then add cooking liquid maintaining 1” headspace. They finish cooking in your jar as you can them. But you can always cook them to your liking prior to canning. But to follow safe canning guidelines you must soak them 12-18 hours and bring to a boil prior to canning. Hope that helps. If you have further questions please ask. Congratulations on being a newbie. Word of warning: it’s addicting 😂😊😊 💕Carol
thank you for your reply. I will try these beans in the next week or so.
Im sorry for the dumb question..... do you just rinse and leave the beans in a pot on the store and bring it to boil then count the 30 minutes or is it 30 min from start of heating?
30 minutes once they start to boil. Boil gently (simmer)
Can I use my Instant Pot to can the beans? and if so how long etc?
No I’m sorry but IP are not approved for canning.
What temp do you parcook at?
Just a simmer
Hi! I am watching your video 2 years later, so I hope you answer me! Can I add bacon fat to the water that I cook the beans in before canning? We like Salvadorean style beans with jalapeño, onion, and lard or bacon fat.
Hi! I would add the bacon fat when you open a jar. It isn’t recommended to add additional fat when canning as it can interfere with heat penetration 😊
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thank you SO much!!!
What kind of salt do you use? Also if I'm using pint jars ( can't find pint and a half due to the apocalypse ) what proportions do you recommend for the spices? Don't want to overdo it.
Sharon S lol... I use canning salt but any salt will work here. For pints use 1/2 t of salt, 1/2 t. garlic powder and 1/4 t chili powder and cumin 😊
Thank you :) Being from Texas I miss the Mexican cuisine and real refried beans. Making pintos each time is such a pain and makes so much so this will be so much easier for my husband and I! Love your channel and FB group. So happy to have found you. Keep up the great work and encouraging us to keep canning such wonderful foods! I personally find so much inspiration in your posts and videos and find myself canning much more than I have in the past and learn something new every day. The beans are currently processing in my 915 for 75 minutes and can't wait to try them on Taco Tuesday 😋
Sharon S awe... thank you! So glad you are here 💕😊
SO AFTER U CAN,,,,WHAT DO U DO TO ,AKE YOUR REFRIED BEANS WHEN U DUMP THEM INTO THE PAN,,,LOTS OF LIQU. WHAT DO I DO TO THICKEN IT,,,THANK U
Drain the beans. Add 1T of oil or bacon grease to a pan, add minced garlic, then beans, mash with a potato masher to desired consistency and heat through
Should I use canning salt?
Yes 😊
How did canning the beans this way taste?
Patty delicious! Best way to can beans for refried beans or beans for a Mexican dish 😍
If you do quart jars instead of pint and a half, how much of each spice would you add to each jar?
I would add the same I think. I wouldn’t increase it by more than an additional 1/4 t.
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 So, for quart jars, I’d add 1 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 3/4 tsp each of cumin and chili powder?
@@bettyburdett224 yes
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thanks Carol 😊
Help!! I’ve never canned pinto beans. When I make them I use a handful of salt and a stick of butter. Can I can when using butter in the recipe?
LInda Lockhart no dairy. Some tested recipes will allow for small amounts of butter but I wouldn’t do that here. Add the butter when you open the jar 😊
Thrifty Chic Housewife thank you so much for the reply
Can you use fresh garlic?
Marilyn Ruggeberg yes!
I know this is an old video, but i have a question for you, i canned pinto beans for the first time today in my presto electric pressure canner, i did get a little siphoning on 1 quart, and that quart the water is just a little below the beans, so my question is, at what point do the beans stop bubbling...i have had out foe over an hour...and the 1 jar that siphoned i can still see bubbling coming up....it cannot still be boiling the rest of them are not bubbling
It can take awhile for the bubbling to stop
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thank you
Can you add onions
Yes
I keep seeing videos and in the Better Home and Garden canning book that you should boil all home canning food before eating. But the Ball books don’t mention it. Can you please verify this? As a new canner this is important to know. Thanks 😀
The Better Homes and Gardens canning book is older and not a tested/trusted source 😉. But in years past it was advised to boil your food for 10 minutes prior to eating. However, if you followed all processes and procedures it is not considered necessary. Here’s a great article on the subject www.healthycanning.com/should-you-boil-your-home-canned-vegetables/
Decide for yourself 😊
Thank You Carol. I read the article and it was very helpful. And thank you for replying so quickly. I really appreciate your help.
Can you add bacon to you pinto beans to can?
The NCHFP allows for 1-2 1” pieces per jar to stay within safe guidelines
What happens when you overcan, overcook, pinto beans????
I’m not sure…
Store bought canned beans won’t ever measure up to homemade.
How long would the beans last on the shelf?
Crystal Luna Lloyd the canning experts say for best quality use within a year. I keep my home canned goods for three years with no change in quality 😍
I am sorry, you did what to them for 30 minutes?
Simmered them for 30 minutes (par cooked)
