I'm trying to figure out if the simmering for one hour is a misprint or if you really do it twice as the directions state??? I can't find any other "refried bean" recipe out there and this is as close as I can find, but I don't want to mess it up, did you all do the simmering twice?

The first time out I made them as per the recipe. They were ok. Second time, I added some chopped onions, diced tomatoes cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. Much better...

I thought these were very bland. I couldn't taste the flavor of the peppers at all and they needed A LOT of salt. I also thought there was too much water. It diluted the flavor.

The recipe is okay. You have to add alot of salt to get the correct flavoring. As just regular beans I would give it a 3. But, if you make refried beans mixed with sour cream in it. I would make it a 5. My daughter would only give it a 3 both ways and she loves homemade beans. She said it was to bacony.

My family loves this dish! My husband is Hispanic and he loves beans served this way. Even my mom, in the South, thinks it's wonderful. They're easy to serve as refried beans as well. Just heat oil in a pan, add beans and mash with a wooden spoon as they cook. Ready in about five minutes!
