The canned refried beans taste good enough without needing to cook or adding anything else. However, you can make it a little better by adding more flavors yourself.

  • 2 tbsp of bacon grease
  • ½ onion chopped
  • ½ tsp of onion and garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Tools

  • A saucepan
  • A spoon

Instruction

  • Place the bacon grease to a saucepan over medium-low heat until it’s melted
  • Add chopped onion to the pan and saute it to golden and tender
  • Stir in the canned refried beans 
  • Season with onion and garlic powder, also salt and pepper to your liking
  • Stir the mixture constantly for a few minutes until warmed through then serve hot

Notes

  • Use vegetable oil or any cooking oil or butter as a substitute if you don’t have bacon grease
  • Shredded cheese goes well with the beans so you can optionally garnish the dish with cheese
