I made my own refried beans!

Homemade refried beans recipe   Okay, I'm sure some of you experienced cooks are thinking, "What's so special about making refried beans? And how could anyone not know how to make them from scratch?!" Well, since I didn't grow up eating beans, and I'm not related to any mexicans, I'm just now learning this stuff!

But I am SO hooked on making my own from now on! They were just wonderful! Normally I eat refried beans along with some meat and cheese and lots of other things to help them taste good. These beans I made today... I could use them plain as a chip-dip and it was delicious!

I also got to make them just the consistency I wanted, which was still slightly lumpy and not too thick and paste-like.

And all along I was thinking, "Yay! One more thing that I don't have to buy in a can!"

We made the yummiest nachos for lunch, using some of these beans. Recipe to come... maybe tomorrow! :D

Please post your recipe and "how tos" for the refried beans.

Already did! ;)

But I forgot to make the text link to it (I just had the photos linking, which is confusing unless you actually hover over and realise that it's a link!).

Thanks for alerting me to that -- I went and edited this entry so there is a link in the text, which will take you to my recipe! Enjoy! :D
