Refried Beans {Instant Pot or Crockpot}

These Refried Beans are a staple recipe! They have a perfectly creamy texture and a delicious crave-able flavor. They'll likely remind you of the refried beans you get at your favorite Mexican restaurants.

And since they're made in Instant Pot or Crockpot they couldn't be easier (plus there's no tending to them as they cook).

What are Refried Beans?

Refried beans are a very common side dish in Mexican cuisine. They're usually made with pinto beans and the process usually consists of simmering pre-soaked beans until cooked through, then most of the excess liquid is drained and beans are mashed to a creamy consistency.

Then from there beans are fried in oil or lard with onion, garlic and spices. Here we simplify that process quite a bit they'll taste equally as good.

With these two methods (Crockpot or Instant Pot) there's no pre-soaking required. There's no tending to beans, monitoring liquid level and stirring while cooking.

And there's no frying after mashing, the bacon fat (or butter) is just stirred right in.
