Ingredients
- 2 Tbs bacon grease see notes for substitutions
- ½ onion chopped
- 1 16 oz can refried beans
- ⅓ Cup sour cream
- ⅓ Cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- salt and pepper to taste
- shredded cheddar Sour Cream and chopped green onion for garnish
Instructions
- In a saucepan or frying pan over medium heat on the stovetop place 2 Tbs Bacon Grease and allow it to melt and get hot. Look for rippling in the surface of the grease to know that it is hot.
- Add the chopped onion and cook till onion is soft, 3-4 minutes.
- Add the can of refried beans (it will be chunky). Break the beans up with your wooden spoon. See notes if beans won’t break up and stir in.
- Once the beans are smoothly mixed in, add the sour cream, cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne pepper and mix well.
- When heated through, taste the beans and see if they need salt. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot
Notes
- If you do not have bacon grease, use vegetable oil (or any cooking oil) or butter. Seriously though, the bacon grease really adds flavor.
- Sometimes canned refried beans are difficult to break up and stir into the mix. You can add vegetable oil 1 Tbs at a time to help loosen them.
- Serve in a bowl for dipping chips and garnish with shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream and some chopped green onions.
- You can also serve as a side dish to your other Mexican foods.
