Made this recipe today, and the family taste tested. Now they can’t wait for dinner! Thank you for all your hard work, time, and putting this recipe on YouTube!

This is a great recipe – really tasty.
Notes:
1. I cooked mine in the instant pot for 60 mins, natural release 30 mins. Perfectly soft.
2. If you are adding liquid at the end to suit your preferred consistency , just remember that as it cools down, it will thicken quite significantly.

Incredibly tasty refried beans that were super easy to make. I’ve been eating leftovers all week for breakfast topped on a warm corn tortilla and soft fried egg. They get tastier with time!

In reply to Jenn.

Hi Jenn,

thank you for your kind words and question 🙂

Both ways will work fine as the keep warm function will not kick in well after pressure is released.

Take care & have fun cooking

Love this recipe!, love love my IP! Just wondering when you allow for time release say like 25 mins do you have the keep warm function on? Aloha 🤙

So grateful I found your site! The recommendation to close lid with the valve open, shut after closing, is spot on. Our first IP recipe (from a different site) was disheartening because the pork chops were not tender. Now we are cooking correctly. These refried beans were the best we ever had, even though I forgot to remove the bay leaf (that I chose to add) before mashing.
We are learning a lot, your efforts are appreciated, we are new fans!

I have made this twice now, I have a CPE. The first attempt the flavor was great but I didn’t love the texture. Since we love refried beans with all of our favorite Mexican foods I wanted to try again. The huge difference is that I invested in an immersion blender. Smooth creamy perfect beans. Thank goodness I tried it again, I printed the recipe and added to my binder of Amy and Jacky recipes!

10/10! I used previously cooked beans (made using the instant pot) with the bean cooking broth instead of chicken broth as called for. I find that just cooking the beans in the instant pot with water and aromatics yields a very flavorful broth, and it seemed only natural to just put the bean broth in with the beans for this dish.
I also didn’t have any onion on hand so used dried onion granules, which worked perfectly.
