These are very good and super easy! I used pre-cooked bacon (4 slices) and re-crisped it in the skillet, which released just enough fat to flavor the beans quite well. I love refried black beans so did a mix of half black and half pinto and just roughly mashed them with the wooden spoon I was stirring with so they still had a lot of texture. I used about 1/4 tsp pepper and after tasting, added 1/4 tsp of salt also. Since I was making these the day before I needed them, I waited to add the cheese until I was reheating. I also stirred in a spoonful of salsa as I was reheating my serving. Served with recipe #133032 which was an excellent combination. Thanks for sharing!

Very easy, and tasty too! I didn't want to run out to the store to buy refried beans, but had all the ingredients for this at home. I didn't add the cheese, but used one can of beans and two slices of bacon. Thanks!

I was looking for a quick recipe and found this - it was exactly what I wanted. I used only one can of pinto beans, some 'real bacon bits' leftover from another recipe, a little taco seasoning and cayenne pepper. they're delicious and were super simple to make - thanks for sharing!
