Epiphany of the day

Hey there! I was trying to make use of some inherited can beans today. My first order of business was to make refried beans to add to some mole that I had made previously. Had burrito in mind! Then, I realized that refried beans and bean dip are basically the same thing. Yes? No?

Refried Beans < = > Bean dip???


Funny how those little concepts just pop into your mind at times. I thought it was fun.

What did I do? Here’s the Recipe

  • Rinse beans (optional)
  • 1 tsp Chicken base
  • 2 TBS water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Just heat over medium heat. Mash up with potato masher or fork. Simmer down until desired consistency. ENJOY!
