Johnny's Refried Beans Frijoles Refritos Recipe  
by:    Johnny Davis  
 
Johnny's Refried Beans Frijoles Refritos Recipe tastes fresh and much better than store bought using pinto beans, onion, lard or bacon drippings and salt to create this delicious refried beans recipe.


INGREDIENTS
1 lb. bag dry pinto beans
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 Tbl lard or bacon drippings
salt


DIRECTIONS
Cook the pinto beans according to package instructions until tender. (Pinto beans make a delicious side dish.) Allow beans to cool. Place two cups beans into a zip-lock bag and add 1 cup bean juice to the bag. Remove air from bag and zip to seal. Beans freeze extremely well and can be used later to make refried beans or as a tasty side dish. (1 bag is about 3 servings.)
 
To Prepare Refried Beans: Remove bag of beans from freezer. Thaw. Place beans and liquid into a sauce pan over medium heat. Add onions and stir to mix well. Allow beans/onion mixture to come to heavy simmer. Reduce heat and simmer until onions are tender and almost all liquid has evaporated.
 
Remove from heat. Using a hand-held potato masher, mash the beans and onion until relatively smooth but still with a few "chunks" of beans visible. Add lard and stir beans gently to melt lard.
 
Add salt to taste. Serve and enjoy!!
