THE BEST HOMEMADE REFRIED BEANS
These are the Best Refried Beans Ever, and they only take about 15 minutes to make! You'll never go back to canned again. To make homemade refried beans, you'll need bacon (and the grease), onion, some canned (or cooked) pinto beans, spices, chicken broth, and I love adding fresh cilantro for a boost of fresh flavor.

Steps:
- In a heavy skillet (I used a cast iron one), fry the 2 slices bacon until crispy on medium high heat. Remove the bacon and set aside. Chop into small pieces when cooled.
- Meanwhile, the diced onion to the bacon grease in the skillet; sauté until soft and slightly browned (about 2 minutes).
- Add the chili powder (1 teaspoon) and cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon); stir to coat the onions.
- Add the drained and rinsed pinto beans and chicken stock (1/2 cup). Use a potato masher (or a fork) to mash the beans to desired texture, then stir to incorporate with the liquid.
- Continue heating until heated through. It may seem pretty watery at this point. If there is too much liquid, continue heating until some of the liquid has evaporated, until you reach the desired consistency, stirring frequently, keeping in mind the beans will thicken additionally as they cool.
- Stir in cilantro (1/4 cup) if using, the chopped bacon, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

CHEF JOHN'S REFRIED BEANS
I don't think I would ever sit down to eat just a bowl of refried beans, but they make everything they're served on, with, or in, infinitely better. Just as long as you use lard to make them.

Steps:
- Drain soaked beans and transfer them to a stock pot. Add garlic, epazote, and cold water. Place pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Stir. Reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered until beans are soft, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Drain the beans and reserve all the liquid.
- Melt lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and salt; cook until onions start to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in serrano pepper and chipotle powder; cook 1 minute. Transfer drained beans into skillet. Mash about half the beans with a potato masher or back of a spoon. Ladle some bean cooking liquid to skillet. Continue to mash and stir beans as you gradually add more liquid. Mash until the beans have reached your preferred consistency and texture. Taste and add more salt, if desired.

THE "BEST" REFRIED BEANS
I love this recipe, plus if you increase the amount of beans, you don't have to use them all for the recipe, the leftover beans are good to freeze and make refried beans in the future.

Steps:
- In a large, heavy pot, combine the beans, bay leaf, and enough water to cover by 1 to 2 inches. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours, adding more water as necessary to keep covered. When the beans are soft, mash in the pot with a potato masher or the back of heavy wooden spoon. Remove from the heat.
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic, jalapeno, chili powder, cumin, salt, and cayenne, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Add the beans and any cooking liquid from the pot, and the oregano, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring with a heavy wooden spoon, until the mixture forms a thick paste, 15 to 20 minutes, adding water a bit at a time to keep the beans from drying out too much.
- Remove from the heat and transfer to a decorative bowl. Sprinkle with the cheese and cilantro, and serve.
HANDS-DOWN BEST "REFRIED BEANS"
This is the best-ever recipe I've ever had for no-fry refried beans, and it happened as an accident after pureeing a "failed" old family 15 Bean Soup recipe. The soup was rescued after adding a little more broth (a little white wine might have worked as well) before heating, yet it immediately became clear that this "accident" produced the very best refried beans I've ever tasted for Mexican recipies of all kinds! Hope you like it, although it takes some time. Perfection deserves the extra effort, these really are the best no-refried "refried beans" ever!

Steps:
- Soak the beans overnight, then rinse thoroughly. Cover with water times three (i.e., water three times the depth of the beans) in a large pot. Bring to frothy boil for one hour, then drain and rinse the suds off the beans.
- Return to pot or a crockpot, add remaining ingredients. Bring to boil, then set to low and cook for 6-8 hours more, adding water or broth as necessary. Even if you burn a little on the bottom of the pot, all is well -- the toasty taste will blend into and enhance the Grand Finale.
- After all this cooking the beans should resemble lumpy brown gravy. Ladle two cups or so at a time into a food processor or blender in batches, blend until very smooth.
- Use in place of traditional refried beans -- or reheat with just enough broth (or wine)to make an excellent gourmet soup -- and enjoy!
- NOTE: For Vegetarians use the vegetable stock and remember to only use the Tempeh as stated.
