Can't get any easier or tastier than this. I did add some cayenne powder and chili powder to suit my taste, and left 1 cup of beans whole to add texture, but I have no doubt the recipe is flavorful as written. This is my new refried bean recipe. Next time I will try with black beans to add even more nutritional value. Thanks for posting. -
Totally awesome beans-very flavorful and just the right texture after processing. I cooked these on high for 5 hours until I went to bed and then on low overnight. They were perfect. I won't change a thing next time. I didn't miss the fat found in canned refried beans a bit. I used just enough olive oil to prevent the onions from sticking.
