Most cooks probably have canned refried beans in the pantry, but there are actually a few good reasons for making from-scratch refried beans.  First, when you make slow cooker or Instant Pot refried beans you control what goes in, so whether you want a recipe that’s low-fat, fat-free, vegan, low in salt, spicy, or mild, you make the beans exactly the way you like them. Second, definitely from-scratch refried beans are more economical than canned ones, and beans keep well in the freezer.  But most important of all, home-cooked refried beans have that creamy bean flavor you just can’t get from a can.

Each of these Slow Cooker or Instant Pot Refried Beans recipes is slightly different, so look them over and see which one fits your preferences for perfect refried beans. Then get some dried beans and make amazing refried beans for your family! All photos are copyrighted to the blogger that posted the recipe; just click the recipe name under any photo to see the complete recipe on the original site.
