How To Make Homemade Refried Beans

Money Saving Mom®
  • minutes
  • Serves

INGREDIENTS

4 cups

cooked pinto beans 

(You may used canned whole beans if you like. I prefer to use dry beans and cook them myself. Directions follow below.)

3 tbsp

healthy fat for sauteing 

(Butter, coconut oil, beef tallow, or lard would all work here. Avoid olive oil as it isn’t stable at high temperatures.)

1 cup

chopped onion

5 cloves

minced garlic

2 1/2

 t. cumin

2 tsp

paprika

2 tsp

sea salt

1/2 tsp

chili powder (

more or less- the intensity of chili powders seems to vary)

1/2 tsp

black pepper

Milk, as needed 

(water or bean broth can be used if your family is dairy-free. However, I prefer the richness that the milk adds.)
