Ingredients

  • 1 portion refried beans
  • 1 tbsp water or stock, optional

Instructions

  • Take your beans out of the fridge and transfer them to a pot or skillet.
  • Heat them on medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
  • Add extra liquid (either butter, stock, or water) a tablespoon at a time until you achieve your desired thickness. Butter also adds a nice rich flavor.
  • Continue heating the beans until they’re hot and ready to serve.

Notes

Low heat ensures the beans don’t burn on the bottom of the pan or dry out. Don’t let the beans come to a boil – this is too hot.
If you have a massive pot of beans, you can increase the heat to medium so that it isn’t too slow.
Just don’t forget to stir, so nothing sits on the bottom of the pan for too long.
For extra tasty beans, fry some bacon in the pan before adding the beans.
