Refried Beans – Cooked Well, Non Twice

Contrary to pop belief, refried beans are non called refried beans because they’re refried.  As it turns out the advert truly translates to good fried, every bit inwards so good fried, beans are reduced to a molten mash.  And what a delicious squelch it is.

I don’t intend I would ever sit down downward to consume but a bowl of refried beans, but they brand everything they’re served with, on, or in, infinitely better.  Just every bit long every bit you lot role lard.  In my opinion, using rendered pork fatty for these produces the ultimate refried beans.

Many folks insist on using bacon, together with it’s ever difficult to debate against using bacon, but for me that smoky flavor, every bit delicious every bit it is, but overwhelms the balance of the ingredients.  Besides that enthusiastic recommendation, move certain to gustation for seasoning at the end.

Since nosotros don’t gear upwards the beans alongside salt, it’s going to accept about fairly generous seasoning later. In fact, whatever reviews less than five-stars volition move the lawsuit of people nether salting, together with and then unfairly blaming me. So, whether these are going on your Super Bowl nachos, or but inwards your regular recipe rotation, I truly attain promise you lot seat this a essay soon. Enjoy!
