I have always thought that refried beans were delicious but SO high maintenance when it came down to cooking them fresh and not out of a can.
I have tried them on the stove top (soaking the beans, then boiling all day, and then cooking all the other ingredients followed by blending and smushing) and it was too much work. I did it twice on a day my hubby was at work and I was bored. Def. not a good match for a working mama or a mama with a life, which if you have kids then you qualify as both a mama and having a busy, busy life!
Even married with no kids - it's too much work for what you get.
BUT, NOT ANYMORE!
I have the easiest recipe (and quickest). It took me literally 5 minutes to do total.
