Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 16 ounce can refried beans
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • tablespoon bacon fat
  • teaspoons hot sauce (I like Cholula) 
  • Cotija, feta, or shredded cheese of your choice (optional, garnish)

Instructions

  • Add the canned refried beans, sour cream, bacon fat, and hot sauce to a small pot over medium heat. Stir frequently as they heat up to combine. 
  • Once heated through, remove from heat and blend with an immersion blender. Or add to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. 
  • Top with cheese of your choice and serve. 

Notes

If you prefer your refried beans with some texture, you don’t have to blend them - no judgment here! I’ll happily eat them either way.
