I got this recipe from a little old lady who ran a cantina near the beach in Ensanada Mexico. Black beans are the best for this recipe. If the color throws you use red.

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 teaspoons oil
2 jalapenos, chopped fine
2 medium onions, chopped medium
4 garlic cloves, minced (not traditional) (optional)
4 (14 ounce) cans black beans (or red kidney or pink kidney-black has the most flavor)
1 (12 ounce) can beer

Directions

1
In a large pan saute the onions and garlic to just translucent.
2
Add the jalapenos and continue to saute until JUST beginning to brown.
3
Add the beans, 2 cans rinsed and drained, two with juice.
4
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for around 1 1/2 hours, adding beer as needed.
5
You don't want the beans to dry out.
6
If there's any remaining beer left drink it.
7
Sometimes 2 cans are needed.
8
Don't add salt until dish is done and taste first.

With 133 reviews before me I knew that this recipe would be great! I just didn't know HOW great! I made it to go with Vseward (Chef~V) 's Recipe # 268423 making only 1 change and that was to use some leftover bacon grease I had insead of oil. I used Dos Equis Special Lager from our kegerator so no worry about running out of beer for me. Delicious refried beans that I will use in lots of recipes!

Outstanding recipe in its own right, and I now add 1C red wine to the simmering process, along with 1t cumin, 1t coriander, 2t Montreal or Canadian steak seasoning, and 2t of oregano. Oh man, this is good.

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.
