Great recipe and so economical! Rosarita refried beans are $1.99 at my local market so it's just the most money saving way to make my favorite beans and they are healthier too. Muchas Gracias!

What a fantastic recipe. Great tasting and easy to make. After reading other reviews I decided to use 1 tsp. salt and 3 chicken bouillon cubes. Perfect.

I will never buy canned beans again! This recipe is so cheap, so easy, so flavorful and SO MUCH BETTER than the canned stuff! I like to add more cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and a can of diced green chiles right before mashing. I also add a dash of cayenne for a little extra heat. Delicious!!!!!

These are definitely delicious!! However, I agree with the other reviews that it is a little salty. I would take it down to at least 3 tsp...other than that, it is really delicious. :-)

This recipe is much too salty, I had to cut the salt by 2/3 to make it palatable. Other than that, it was very good!

We've used this recipe so many times I had to come back and give it a 5 star rating. You'll never want to buy a can of refried beans again! We like to add a little chicken base and chili powder to the recipe. I also add at least 2 jalapenos or a serano pepper. It's not too hot, just adds a little more kick.

I used a mixture of dried beans, and it turned out great. Even better the 2nd day. So glad I wont have to buy canned beans again!

Great recipe, turned out really good but it might have a bit too much salt, better to start with less then add more if needed.

I can't believe that I have never made these from scratch before. For years I have made a bean dip with refried beans from a can. Well no more, these really were delicious!

I loved the consistency, but overall the flavor was a little dull to me. I added cumin and some garlic herb seasoning during the mashing. I would make these again if I needed A LOT of beans.

Yummy! I didn't have jalapeno but followed another idea and added taco seasoning and chicken bullion to the mix. In my slow cooker it took about 4 hours. Awesome recipe! Thanks for sharing :)

Followed exactly except used canned beans instead of dried. It was excellent! Much better than already made refried beans!

Awesome!!!!! I used chicken broth in place of the water and omitted the salt entirely. I also sauteed the onion and garlic (5 cloves) in olive oil. Added it all to the crock pot and threw in 5 slices of partially cooked bacon. YUMMY!

Great recipe that's easy and authentic! I made this for a party to go with my home made enchiladas. It was a huge hit and there were no left-overs. I'll try with black beans or a combo of black and pinto next time like others have suggested.
