Refried Beans
I found this recipe on a food blog that I love called The Pioneer Woman. I never dreamed making refried beans could be so easy. It literally took me 10 minutes. No joke!
I started by heating some leftover beans over medium heat. I had made beans and cornbread a couple days before and the leftovers were perfect for making refried beans.
Throw in some diced jalapenos or any pepper you would like.
Get your handy-dandy potato masher out and start mashing…
…keep mashing
Now, no one panic… add a table spoon of lard. Yes, I said it, lard. It’s only a tablespoon and its not like you are going to eat the whole pot of beans by yourself. I promise it will make them so much better.
Mash them up some more.
And now you have refried beans.
