Frijoles I image

A friend passed this recipe to me. It is a little more work, but worth it for authentic refried bean taste. To make ahead of time, beans can be covered and refrigerated for 1-2 days.

Time 4h30m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound dry pinto beans
2 onions, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons pepper
¾ cup butter
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Soak pinto beans overnight in 1 quart of water.
  • Place beans into a large saucepan, and add water to cover. Add onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat until beans are tender, about 1 to 2 hours. Add additional water to the pan as needed to prevent burning.
  • Mash the beans with a potato masher, and mix in the butter. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and the butter is absorbed. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the bean mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
