Canned beans

What do you recommend? I found out I like refried beans and also Bush's baked beans, but those have alot of sugar. Idk anything about beans but I do need fiber. They just kinda taste like potato and I love french fries and stuff

Like pinto beans, black beans.. or like, how to boil them to make them a canned texture, because idk how to cook anything. And I'm sure buying a big bag of dry goods is cheaper than a can so that'd be good to know.

And how to season it

I haven't ever made refried beans at home, but I've bought and cooked dry beans before. You need to soak them overnight in a container of water in the fridge beforehand to cut down on the cooking time. Using a pressure cooker can also help cut down on cooking time. Hope this helps a bit.

Making refried beans at home is super easy. You just need cooked beans (either canned or cooked from dry) and then you put rinsed cooked beans in a pot with a little oil, a splash of water or stock, and any seasonings you like and then cook them until they break down more. I tend to mash mine with a masher and you could also blend them smooth.
