I have made this several times now and it is fantastic as is or with some personal changes. I took someones suggestion and added cumin, then to kick it up a notch i sometimes will add chilpotles peppers to taste, depending on how hot you want it. This is the only refried bean recipes i use and have given it to many people. Thanks!

These beans were just ok for us. They tasted good, but not like refried beans. It may be my fault, I didn't read the directions carefully so I didn't cooked the onions, peppers and garlic first. I'll try again.

This is spooky - I know for a fact that this was one of the very first recipes that I made and reviewed shortly after I joined Recipezaar about 7 or 8 months ago! Darned gremlins! In any case, I have made them many times since then in my "Death to Canned Refried Beans" campaign. I always make them with Guinness stout or a good strong British brown ale instead of beer. I've eaten them as a side dish, and they have become a staple ingredient any time I make a recipe that calls for refried beans as an ingredient.

Ecellent! I used half Kideny and Half black beans since I couldnt decide. It took 1 1/2 cans of beer. I made 11 bean burritos with them, 10 for the freezer and one I just ate.
