We love these beans. Use all pintos if black food freaks you out. I prefer bottled beer over cans, and I offer Beano however that takes all the fun out of eating these. Besides, it's not often that I get to deliver revenge on my husband. Just sayin.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 large jalapenos, diced
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 - 14 oz cans black beans or 2 and 2 pintos

How To Make refried beans

  • Step 1
    In a large pan saute the onions and garlic to just translucent.
  • Step 2
    Add the jalapenos and continue to saute until JUST beginning to brown.
  • Step 3
    Add the beans, 2 cans rinsed and drained, two with juice.
  • Step 4
    Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for around 1 1/2 hours, adding beer as needed. I just add 1/2 a can/bottle of beer and sip the rest.
  • Step 5
    Keep an eye out-You don't want the beans to dry out AND stir often.
  • Step 6
    Open second beer and add as needed or drink it and add chicken stock.
  • Step 7
    Don't add salt until dish is done and taste first.
