Thanks so much! My son lives on bean and cheese burritos..I began being concerned of the sodium content so I found your recipe to try to make at home for him..can’t believe we didn’t try this years ago! I appreciate how you test each recipe before to the millionth time so we don’t have to..lol..love!

Hi Danielle,

Thank you for your question 🙂
The pre-instructions for the beans are written on the Step by Step photo guide.

Pick, rinse and drain the pinto beans.

*Pro Tip 1: You don’t have to pre-soak the pinto beans for this recipe. Although beans have a relatively long shelf life, older beans may take a much longer cooking time to be softened. So, it’s best to use fresh dry beans if possible!

Merry Christmas & Happy Holiday to you

Recipe looks great… Although I haven’t tried it… And reading the recipe it says “add the drained.beans”… But before that it doesn’t say whether or not the beans should be rinsed, soaked or anything further… So just wondering what the pre-instructions for the beans are before I test…

I added the bacon back in before pressure cooking. Since it was smoked bacon it gave the beans an excellent flavor. I also did not drain the liquid but served as a side dish with sausage.

Those are some good beans!

I’ve tried refried beans from another popular website, and they were okay. But these are way better.

Even though these can be cooked from unsoaked beans, I did soak. The one time I tried pressure cooking unsoaked beans, my tummy was unhappy. I did remove some of the bacon grease before sautéing onions, because there was more than I was comfortable with. When tasting at the end, I added a little ham Better than Bouillon rather than plain salt. These are very tasty – they don’t need the toppings! But we’ll try that way with dinner. 🙂

Thanks for the wonderful recipe. No need to keep looking, because this is it!
