Gotta Love Cheesy Beans!
Our family uses beans for dipping, as a side dish, and for adding to all sorts of recipes from our Tostadas to our Bean Burritos. Mind you, my family is Hispanic and we have Mexican dishes all the time, so you better believe we make these pretty often. Yes, refried beans can be served from the can, but these upgraded canned refried beans add a few extra ingredients that will take the canned stuff to the next level! Why we love them:

Refried beans are a staple Mexican side dish along with Homemade Spanish Rice and Baked Tortilla Chips with Homemade Salsa! So quick! Adding extra flavor does not mean adding extra time, these beans are still ready to enjoy in only 10 minutes.
