Refried Beans

Remove beans from the juice they have been cooked in and mash them with a potato masher, leaving some unmashed. Cook them in a cast iron skillet with some bacon grease. Season with garlic and salt and pepper to taste.

To make canned refried beans extra special, add about 1/3 cup whole milk per large can when reheating. Top with shredded Cheddar or Mexican cheese and enjoy.
