Refried beans ala low carb:
1 [15 oz] can black soybeans
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/8 tsp. red pepper
1 tsp. Franks Red Hot sauce (or more to taste)
2-3 tbsp. hot bacon grease
salt and pepper to taste
2 oz. shredded cheese (your choice)
Drain and rinse the beans then place in a mixing bowl. Mash the beans with a potato masher (bet you thought you'd never have a need to use
that again!
) until paste forms. Add spices and hot bacon grease and mix well. Adjust seasonings to taste. Add some additional bacon grease to a skillet on medium heat then add the bean mixture. Stir until heated through. Place on a microwave safe plate, sprinkle cheese over the top and microwave 30 seconds to 1 minute until cheese is melted. Enjoy!
