Traditional Refried Beans
1 lb. pinto beans (Casserole brand recommended)
Hot water
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into ½-inch pieces
1 medium sized yellow onion, large chopped
2 Cayenne peppers, diced
2 medium dried ancho chilies, diced (store-bought in sack)
1 ½ tablespoons of Mesquite seasoning or all-purpose seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
4 tablespoons butter (divided)
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Green onions, finely chopped, for serving
Shredded cheese, for serving
In a pot, add the beans and enough hot water to cover the beans about 1 ½ to 2-inches. Place over high heat and when it starts to simmer add the bacon, onion, cayenne peppers and ancho chiles. Stir and cover. Bring to a hard boil and continue boiling for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the Mesquite seasoning, garlic powder and reduce the heat down to a low boil.
Stir in 2 tablespoons of the butter. Cover and continue cooking for about 2 - 2 ½ hours or until the beans are slightly tender.
Note: You will need to add hot water to the beans as they cook. Be sure the beans stay covered with about 1 ½ inches of water.
When the beans are soft, remove from the heat and drain well.
In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat.
Place the beans in the skillet and mash with a potato masher, until blended (the traditional style keeps some bean texture rather than whipped smooth).
Stir in the mayonnaise, sour cream, cumin and smoked paprika. Mash and stir again.
Cook for about 4 to 6 minutes or until beans have simmered, stirring occasionally.
Remove from the heat and serve warm, topped with cheese and green onions, if desired.

    When I first saw this recipe from Cowboy Kent, I started thinking, what does this "Cowboy" know about Mexican food and especially refried beans? I mean, having eaten my mom's refried beans for the past 50+ years, no way could this compare! Well, I was wrong, I have noticed some fellow Hispanic cooks out there in You Tube Land blasting the recipe because of the use of Mayo and Sour Cream, but guess what, this recipe is "No Joke"! My mom was Mexican and Dad Spanish and this seems to be a merging of the two, just like my mom's beans and it Rocks! I used butter during the initial fry along with some lard, when I blended in the Mayo and Sour Cream I became a little concerned because it was so light, but that Paprika and Cumin really helped richen the color and gave it several more layers of flavor that me and my family could not have enough of. Thanks for proving me wrong Cowboy Ken, I am anxious to try more of your delicious looking recipes, God Bless you, your family and of course our men and women serving at home and abroad...

We grew up eating beans (only beans) for dinner on more nights than I care to remember, but I loved them then and I love them still. We usually had some ketchup which helped. God provided. Because of watching this, I'm having beans for dinner. Thank you Kent Rollins!

    It has taken us forever to try to make refried beans according to this recipe. My wife frowned at the idea of mayonnaise as an ingredient. Waiting to make this recipe was such a mistake. (my wife's words). These were as good as any refried beans I have had anywhere. I grew up in the Central Valley of California, and have had, what I consider to be, excellent refried beans. Thank you for sharing this recipe. This is how we will do it from now on. Addition: 6/17/23, No more canned refried beans for us. We have a family reunion in a couple of days and we know these beans are going to be a hit. Thank you for sharing all of the recipes. God bless.

Sauteed onion, bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, serrano pepper and poblano pepper. Added to bean broth, 2 cups chicken broth, diced chicken, undrained Rotel tomatoes, corn, garlic, chili powder, mesquite seasoning and cumin. Let low boil about 3 hours. Garnish each bowl with tortilla strips, cheese and a dollop of sour cream. It is heavenly!!

I didn't have dried chili peppers but I do have dried jalapenos. I can not believe how good these are! Very different from canned and restaurant refried beans. Thank you for the recipe.

    Usually the biggest issue with canned and/or restaurant style refried beans or any canned beans that taste different from homemade and/or authentic is that the beans original cook has been down by pressure cooking the beans and for the most part there is also almost always no salt or seasoning added at any time either. I finally figured that out when I pressure cooked some Pinto beans one time to save time. I do not like!!!!

    The Mexicans from old Mexico always put cut up hotdogs in their beans. They cut up the hotdogs into pieces and add them to their beans. I’ve never had bad mexican beans. They always add enough water to start with and end up with the thick pink bean juice. Americans could take lessons on bean cooking from the Mexicans.

    Firstly, you have to make this recipe, exactly as posted, it is AMAZING. I made this a second time as an experiment. Normally you cannot freeze mayo because the oil will separate. SO, I made this recipe and froze it in 16 oz containers. Two weeks later I thawed in the refrigerator and reheated on low heat. PERFECT, it may be even better and terms of blended flavors. So chef friends double this recipe and you will have great leftovers.

    For refried beans whether you are going from scratch or heating up a can of rosarita refried is garlic cumin and paprika. This is the holy trinity for beans. And remember folks, Do not add salt to boiling beans it makes them tough. Salt once they are soft and ready for mashing. Great video kent! I will try the sour cream and mayo on my next batch.

I learned a lot from him and he would have me help do prep and of course taste testing! I just discovered your videos today and have been binge watching lol.

    I'm not Mexican, but I did live with a family from Mexico for over 7 years and they never cooked their beans like that. Like you said in the beginning, they sorted and washed their beans (I do too actually.) and then you get the beans in the pot with water. Cook until tender, adding water as you go and near the end of the cooking time, you put the salt in. If you put it in ahead of time, the beans don't cook right. Heat your skillet on medium-high and then right before your about to ladle the beans in, put some oil and let that get hot for a few seconds. Get a big ladle and scoop out some beans and the water they cooked in; Enough for the family, what you think they'll eat. We didn't use a potato smasher like what you have, we used an actual round frijol smasher with square holes that are actually small enough to get the job done fast. Sometimes we would caramelize some onions in another pan and add those in at the end. But that's it. What we didn't use, we would just keep the entire pot of beans in the fridge and ladle them out as needed. And we would never cook more than what we thought we could eat in a few days, Otherwise they don't taste as good.

    Now I got a hankerin' for refried beans! I'm definitely trying this recipe. I lived my first 40 years in Texas (3rd generation Texan) but have lived in S. California since 2001. I like ANY type of good Mexican food, so I can't really pick a favorite. I do miss El Fenix in Dallas, though. Oh those sour cream chicken enchiladas were a bit of heaven on a hot plate!

    I have eaten at the same Mexican restaurant for about 25 years now, and the thing that I look forward to, every time, is their refried beans. I asked the owner, to let me see how he does it. It takes two days, and from the perspective of an old line cook, is ridiculous as far as time and effort required, for something as simple as beans. Yet it is the way he does it, serves 200 pounds of beans a day on average, and is why he has been in business for almost 30 years. An old chef once told me, forget the fancy meats, if you can do beans, rice, pasta and potatoes right, you will always have a job.

    That looks pretty good, and might accidentally be a lot like I've made refries before. I don't think I've ever made them the same way trice though lol. The biggest difference for me, and the way my father taught me, started in living in an area sort of famous for lots of good bean farms and farmers, the North Platte river valley around the Wyobraska line. We ate beans often. I think my dad's favorite meal was ham hocks and beans, pintos and/or northerns, and he always made two or three times too many on purpose. After dinner, he would drain what was left and hunt out the bones from the hocks, then start adding stuff by what he found on hand (his ham and beans already had onion, garlic, salt pepper, and a few jalapinos), but that didn't stop him from adding more of those things, or cilantro, Tabasco or whatever brand was handy, diferent kinds of dried and crush or ground peppers, cumino etc. I've used lard and bacon grease, maybe even butter or margarine, just because I was out of lard or Crisco, but I never would of thought of mayo, and will try it soon. Like I said, I really can't say a recipe always changing it up like that, but I guarantee every single batch my father or I ever made was way better than any that ever came from a can. And yes we saved the juice too, it is awesome dipping sauce, for toast, tortillas, or corn bread, especially with a little more liquid fire added to it.

    I'm Mexican, from Sonora, refried beans just use hot lard, put lard in a hot iron pan, them add the beans, smash them, them make them "frijoles maneados", which are beans with cheese, add to them Chihuahua Mennonite cheese, or any melting cheese like Monterey Cheese or even Mozzarella, move them until all the cheese it's integrated in the refried beans.
