I used to own a Mexican Restaurant in the Rio Grande Valley and the amazing chefs I worked with taught me the secrets of refried beans...

These refried beans are sometimes called runny, sticky and retefritos…and the restaurants will serve their refried beans based on the dish being ordered.

… but the first secret is that it all starts with a good pinto bean recipe.

For Terry’s favorite pinto beans recipe we’re gonna use:

– 2.5 C of Casserole Pinto Beans – these our are FAVORITE brand of beans
– 2 Garlic Cloves
– 2 Strips of Thick Cut Hickory & Mesquite Smoked Bacon
– About half J & B Salt Pork
_ A little more or a little less of each ingredient, to your preference

and

– 2 tsp of APC OG, you can salt to taste later

The cooking process for these is super simple in the crock pot. NO soaking needed. You just need to set it to high to get them simmering and check it every hour or so with a little stir. Depending on the crock pot these should take about four to five hours MAX!

And BONUS! In this video we’re also gonna show you what I call the THREE STAGES OF REFRIED BEANS! Stage 1 is the runny bean, perfect for scooping up with a Mexican spoon. Stage 2 is a little drier bean cooked with a little lard perfect for spreading on a tortilla or on a plate. And Stage 3 we add a little more yummy lard and take them to a little toasty finish, incorporating all of the yummy crispy goodness from the bottom of the pan. I love these for chalupas because they won’t make your tortillas soggy and the flavor, oh baby is several notches above the other two.
