Unfried Refried Beans image

"Refried beans were a staple in our home when I was growing up, but the dish my dad made called for crisp bacon and bacon fat," writes Michelle Martinez of Albany, New York. "Being health-conscious, I lightened up the recipe and found that it remained as tasty as I remember from my childhood.

These beans were okay. They were a little bland, but they had a good texture. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

These beans were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I'm so glad I found this recipe! I've been looking for a healthy alternative to refried beans, and these fit the bill perfectly. They're low in fat and calories, and they're still packed with flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

These beans were good, but not great. They were a little too bland for my taste, and they didn't have the creamy texture that I was expecting. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I made these beans last night and they were a hit! My whole family loved them. They were so easy to make, and they tasted just like the refried beans that I grew up eating. I will definitely be making these again and again.

These beans were amazing! I've never had refried beans that didn't come from a can before, and I was really impressed. They were so flavorful and creamy, and they had the perfect amount of spice. I will definitely be making these again.
