    Delicious, economical and easy to make! Today is the fourth time I’ve made them. Thank you for sharing your recipe!5 stars

  • I had printed out several different refried beans recipes and didn’t know which one to try. I texted my daughter and and she sent me this recipe. This is the recipe she uses. I made this recipe yesterday and it was really good. My husband and I added the other 1 1/2 tsp. of salt While mashing the beans. Adding the one cup of broth reserved will make thick refried beans. If you don’t want thick refried beans then reserve more broth. The only ingredient I added was some chopped up pork belly. Thank You for the recipe5 stars

  • Not sure what I did wrong, but it was very thick and too salty. Giving 5 stars because I didn’t follow it to a T and added some other spices and some veggies (chipped green/red pepper).5 stars

  • These are by far the best pinto beans!!! I have tried several recipes over the years and this one is our family favorite! The jalapeño doesn’t give any heat, unless you include the seeds. It does give lots of flavor, along with the other ingredients. The broth is what really sets this one apart. I like to serve it with cheese, Pico de gallo, and avocado. Tortilla chips too! We use this as a soup, tortilla filling, other salads, etc. My husband isn’t a big fan of home cooked beans, but he loves this recipe. Thank you, Erin, for a crowd pleasing, inexpensive, hearty meal!

  • These were the best pinto beans I have ever had in my life. The only thing that I added was Dannos original. Please give this a try. The jalapeño and onion dissolve during the process but the flavor is amazing.5 stars

  • I don’t know if I’ll get a reply, I couldn’t send this recipe to my email, says it can’t verify me address. I hate it when I’m told I don’t have a valid email box. I have made this several times, it’s really good

    1. Hi Carol, I’m so sorry you are having an issue. Please email us at hello@wellplated.com so we can try and resolve this for you. If you could include screenshots that would be great! So glad you enjoyed the pinto beans!

  • I didn’t have any jalapenos but I used a hot pepper mix that I had on hand. I used 2 ham hocks instead of bacon and these were absolutely delicious. Will be making them again for sure.5 stars

    1. Hi Kelly, I’ve only tested the recipe as is but this takes 8 hours on high so it would work for overnight as well. Let us know how it goes if you decide to experiment!

  • Absolutely love them! The best pinto beans recipe. I just finished them off on the 3rd day and they had even a better taste!5 stars

  • My family loves this recipe! We make it regularly and I’ve had several people ask me to share it. Even if I’m missing an ingredient, it turns out amazing!5 stars
