Refried Beans



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone has a refried Beans recipe. The canned has so much sodium in them and I want to make the fat free with less sodium. I have searched on line but I am not coming up with much. In fact the ripes that I have found is loaded with sodium.

Sounds yummy! You could top it with your favorite salsa.. or even some home made salsa or pico. Or maybe add some shredded chicken.

I think she was wanting to make some "refried" Beans from scratch, though. I have no idea how to do that.

If you cook the Beans you can lower the sodium yourself, but you will still have to add SOME salt, at least if you want it to taste good at all. I don't know that there is really any more to it other than adding the seasoning mashing the beans. You can try the one below and just adjust the salt to satisfy your sodium concerns.

  • 1 onion, peeled and halved
  • 3 cups dry pinto beans, rinsed
  • 1/2 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 5 teaspoons salt (may want to cut this in half?)
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin, optional
  • 9 cups Water

Place the onion, rinsed beans, jalapeno, garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin into a slow cooker. Pour in the Water and stir to combine. Cook on High for 8 hours, adding more water as needed. Note: if more than 1 cup of water has evaporated during cooking, then the temperature is too high.

Once the beans have cooked, strain them, and reserve the liquid. Mash the beans with a potato masher, adding the reserved water as needed to attain desired consistency.

I cook my pintos with Kosher salt, a little goes a long way. I also use chili powder, seasoned salt, garlic, minced onion, or whatever else you want to season with. Sometimes I use creole or cajun seasoning. I cook down till tender. To make refried Beans, I use a cast Iron skillet add some olive oil to cover bottom, about 2 T or less, or you can spray with your favorite oil. Turn on fire to medium Use non slotted large spoon, dip Beans w/juice into skillet to cover bottom of skillet mashing with the large large spoon. That's it, I hope you enjoy!

My favorite recipe site is epicurious.com

Here's a link to a quick & easy recipe. Be sure to read the reviews, as they have good suggestions.

Light Refried Black Beans Recipe at Epicurious.com

They suggest topping with sour cream, but I recommend FF Greek yogurt - tastes like sour cream & is high in Protein.

Enjoy!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
