La Preferida is our favorite

This. Ducal is the best.

Wegman's brand! It comes in either black or pinto bean varieties.

I agree with Ducal. I looooove refried beans, so I love this thread. Haha

Old El Paso for sure. We do either the classic (full fat) or the Vegetarian. I think it has the best consistency.

My kid loves refried beans and does not eat meat so we've tried them all, plus I've also made my own from scratch, and Old El Paso comes the closest to restaurant style which is what she wants.

Simmer on low, add water or chicken broth to smooth out more as time progresses

Trader Joe’s black refried beans.

Not canned, but dehydrated. You just add hot water and refresh them. You have to buy a big pack but they last forever and are hands down the best I've ever had.

We get Amy’s. I thin them with some water and add some more salt and cumin, sometimes chopped garlic, when I’m heating them

Amy’s although it has gotten outrageously expensive

Goya is not bad on a budget

Another vote for Taco Bell. Pintos and Cheese, which has the sauce on them.

I love Ducal. It’s a Guatemalan brand.

If you don’t care for canned refried beans, no need to chime in.

I shop at Aldi but I’m not a fan of their version.

Prefer vegetarian but doesn’t have to be.
