I used to constantly buy cans of refried beans. We love refried beans. Now I make my own from dried pinto beans, in the Instant Pot. My Instant Pot blog is …
Hi Cindy, love your videos for cooking and your harp n flute compositions. I am unable to find your refried bean recipe. Also do you make your own chips?
I soak them but have done them both ways. Soaked need only need 35 minutes in my EPC but always need the lard component..hog jowl bacon chunks or hamhocks if you want the best taste.
Just subscribed to you. I just ordered my instant pot today and the main reason was to cook pinto beans fast. I have my own tried and true recipe but nothing I've seen makes a good (thickened) gravy and I don't understand why you can't add salt to them. Traditionally, at about 30 minutes to the end of cooking, you at the salt and sugar and there is where you get the final flavor. I've been reading that you don't put salt in the beans because they won't cook(?). Why is that? The McCormick Taco Seasoning is loaded with salt (I have it on my shelf) and yours look like they turned out just fine, just not enough juice/gravy for us. Any suggestions?
Good video-thanks.
New subscriber. My instant pot will arrive tomorrow and one of the main reasons to purchase was to cook different beans, grains and soups. I eat a lot of beans especially homemade refried. I really like your instant pot blog but saw you have not posted since Aug 2016. Are you still active with this blog?
I want to try these with cut up sausage links. I'm going to leave out the taco seasoning & try it like that at another time. When would you suggest I add the sausage in with the beans?
Why is everybody soaking beans?? With a pressure cooker that isn't necessary
I halved the recipe and the beans were great.
Great video! Thank you for sharing. When freezing leftover beans, are you freezing them inside Ziplock plastic bags, or plastic Tupperware, or what? I look forward to hearing your helpful kitchen advise about your best method of storing your delicious leftover Pinto beans!
