My husband prepared these refried beans using pinto beans he cooked from dried (using the pressure cooker).
The beans had superb flavor - no lard or bacon used - and no added cheese.
An interesting thing was that Bayless says that refried beans should be headed in a double boiler. Sure did prevent the scorching that is commonly seen with canned refried beans heated with direct heat.
We used these beans to prepare burritos. Very satisfying. And I was so impressed that he did this from scratch!
