Santa Fe Bean Co., Instant Fat Free Black Refried Beans, 7.25-Ounce Pack (Pack of 8)

I eat all kinds of beans as they are a main source of my protein intake. These rank up there as one of my top three favorite. Fast and easy to make and they taste terrific. I like to cook these in vegetable stock, really gives it extra depth to the flavor.

It's already been said over and over, but these are SO much better than canned. I honestly can't eat canned because they taste so bad but I love these! The best part? They're ready in like 5 minutes :-)

Honestly, these beans don't look so hot in the pan. Kind of look like a thick fudge sauce. However, everyone who has tried them absolutely loves them. They aren't even in the same league with canned black beans and have a smoky, sort of sweetness to them. I also like the fact that you just add them to boiling water and voila!! you have something special.

I can't say enough about these beans - from the ease of preparing to the taste when eating. I have bought both these and the black beans and have a slight preference for those. I make burritos with them and they are so much better than the store-bought cans.

I discovered these beans about a year ago and have not bought another brand since. They are really good in other food or simply by themself. If you haven't tried them you must.
