Refried beans
I cooked a big Crock Pot full of beans last night, and we're having leftovers in the form of refried beans tonight.
I've never made refried beans...always used canned. I found ways to do it online, but they either don't have calorie counts or the counts vary widely from 120 calories per 1/2 cup to more than 200 per 1/2 cup...and all start with dry beans, and mine are cooked, which throws off the measurements.
The recipe I'm looking to use (feel free to share yours b/c I'm seeking better) calls for 2 cups of dry beans cooked, drained and put into a pot or skillet where they're smushed together until they're the texture you want, adding only water if needed. Like I said...I started with WAY more than 2 cups of dry beans, and have no CLUE how many dried beans made what I've got left, cooked, or any sort of measurements.
Any ideas? Anyone have any idea on calories in homemade refried beans made with cooked beans?
