I halved the recipe since it's just my husband and me, and it worked great. This is such a good recipe. It was my first time having (or making) refried beans, and it won't be my last! Thanks for the great recipe 2Bleu! Made for PRMR Tag.

My first time making refried beans, and yes, it's much better than canned and so easy and tasty that you might as well make them yourself! My only problem was deciding whether the cans should have been drained first or not because the recipe didn't say. The first can I processed undrained, and they seemed watery, so the second can I processed drained and they were too dry. So the 3rd can I processed undrained, and as far as I was concerned they turned out perfect after boiling a bit. I left a few pieces of whole beans in for texture. I thought I had adobo seasoning at home, but I couldn't find it so I used a chili rub instead. That added some depth to the taste, though I'm sure adobo would have been great too. The only other change I made was to substitute 1 tablespoon or so of butter for the bacon grease. I used queso manchego cheese, which is Spanish not Mexican, but it melted up fine and was the perfect topping to this dish! Thanks 2Bleu!
