My hubby made these for me once and I will never go back to eating refried beans out of a can. The bacon bits in this make it absolutely yummy.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 slices bacon
2 (15 ounce) cans pinto beans
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup Mexican blend cheese
salt and pepper (taste first before adding salt due to the bacon)
cheese (to garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Fry bacon in a medium sized skillet until just crispy. Remove bacon from the skillet and set aside until cool enough to break into tiny pieces.
  • Pour off most of the bacon grease, leaving the bottom of the skillet well coated. Return the bacon pieces back to the skillet on low heat.
  • Using a slotted spoon, scoop the beans into the pan. Reserve liquid.
  • Add garlic and onion powder.
  • Mash all contents, adding reserved liquid until desired consistency is reached.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir in cheese.
