This meal was three days in the making, first one day to soak the beans, one day to cook them and into the fridge and today to try my first Refriend Beans, I don’t know why we never had these as I was raised, but I don’t ever remember eating them at home, I have had them a few times in different dishes and never liked it.

But I am trying to learn more bean recipes and ways to use them, so I made the most basic recipe I could find to, its as easy as possable, lard, onion, garlic and cooked beans, half mashed and half left whole..serve hot.. it was good and tasty ( Very Rich, how could it not be fried in the amount of fat the recipe called for)
