I bought shitloads when a local supermarket discontinued them. Ate
them all the time. The last few bags were discovered by mice though,
who apparently liked them as well. The fat free were great. You add
your own fat, instead of the hydrogenated crap in the regular variety.
I eat canned RF beans, but it the height of laziness, and I only do it
when my 5YO wants beans & cheese, and I don't want to waste the rest
of the can. I SHOULD cook beans and keep them in the fridge. They
last a long time.

I found out how to make NM type green chile this Spring.

Ingredients:

green chilies (preferably NuMex Big Jim variety)
water
salt
corn starch

That's it. Nothing else.

Funny how short ingredient lists yield better food.
