Annette's Quick Refried Beans

My friend, Annette, taught me how to make semi-homemade refried beans when I ran out of my old stand-by, canned refried beans :)

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 10
• Yields: 1/2 cup servings

Ingredients

• 3  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 4 (15 1/2ounce) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• 1  tablespoon onion powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Over medium-high heat, heat the oil in a skillet.
2. When oil is hot, add the drained and rinsed pinto beans. onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. With a potato masher, mash & mix everything together & turn heat to medium-low. Beans will thicken the more you mix & mash.
4. Serve while still warm and creamy.
