Directions
Cooking Class Refried Beans,These are hard to buy here, and expensive, so I thought I would give it a go! Ridiculously easy, and very tasty! used a 400gr can of red kidney beans, so did not take the time used for preparing dried beans, however, I’m putting down the original recipe here. used these beans in Shannon W’s “Saturday Night Chicken, Cheese and Refried Bean Enchiladas”. ‘Zaar Recipe# 222838. Refried Beans from ‘Cooking Class Cookbook’.,These are amazing…I cooked the dried beans and followed the recipe as posted with the exception of adding chopped jalapenos with the onion and garlic…I found no need to add any additional salt…it was salty as is but not to the extreme…loved, loved, loved it…=) made it “For Your Consideration” tag game…
