Hurry Up Refried Beans

Why do I call them hurry up refried beans? Why not just get a can of Rosaritas? Answer: I love the flavor of homemade beans, but they take hours to make.  Besides, homemade beans just taste better! When you can do this in just minutes, it pays off big time!

You will need:
two cans whole pinto beans (drained set aside liquid for later)
oil or lard (about 2 Tbsp.)
skillet
potato masher

Heat about two Tbsp. oil in skillet, Add one quarter of the beans at a time to the hot oil, Mashing them at each addition.(careful, it splatters). As the beans will need some liquid, add back some of the liquid that you had set aside, stirring the beans until you have a favorable consistency. This is a fast moving process, and they need to be watched carefully.

Variations:
Flavor if you like with some onion powder, garlic, some canned green chillies, or cheese. (hint: using bacon fat makes them so tasty)
