Refried Beans – From Scratch

We love refried beans! Don’t you? This week, we’re showing you how to make refried beans from scratch, using pinto beans from our bulk department!

We use bacon fat in this recipe, though you can easily use olive oil or lard. Although the recipe only calls for 2 Tbsp, we find that the flavor is greatly enhanced with the addition of a couple more tablespoons of bacon fat, just for flavor.

You can also get some smokey flavor in the beans by adding a bit of chipotle powder, sauce, or chipotle Tabasco.

Many recipes call for soaking the beans overnight and discarding the soaking liquid. We don’t. There is no need to pre-soak the beans.
