I just ordered some packets of instant dried refried beans, which are far better tasting that canned anyway. With the Amazon "subscribe" thing, they were under $14 for 8 packets with free shipping.

Whatever floats your boat....... I lived on MRE's for quite some time ....
and we loved them. The Aussie Army didn't have MRE's at the time, so
getting the dehydrated stuff from you Yanks was a treat.

After being bush for several weeks, it was like going to a restaurant and
having a meal.

But I wouldn't eat them at home!!

My time is worth something too, and I am super busy these days.
The packets reconstitute to 20 oz. Figuring the Rosaritas at $1.30 including local sales tax for a 16 oz. can, the instants are less than 8% more expensive.

Sure, they're higher in cost than starting with raw beans.

Rosarita brand are merely not bad. All the other brands are worse. There's no customizing that will fix them.

Don't throw out the canned version. Just dump a can of
Hormel chili over them and heat them up in the microwave.
It's a gourmet treat !!!!

Hormel chili is awful. I bought 12 cans of it one time because with the sale price and the coupons I had, it was damned near free. Eleven cans got donated to the food pantry. The only canned chili I ever buy is Chilli Man Lean Beef, or Wolf Brand. I use those two in a 2:1 ratio as a base instead of chili hot beans.

What size can do you buy that yoose two can't finish it at one meal?
It's very easy to make refried beans from ordinary plain canned
beans... canned refried beans contain a lot of fat and mystery
ingredients... I wouldn't want to guess what's in instant (freeze
dried) refried beans... and they have to cost substantially more than
making ones own with plain canned beans... next you fry pork chops use
canned beans (with liquid) to deglaze pan while mashing... only
seasoning needed is Penzeys adobo. Nowadays canned beans cost less
than dried, buy them in larger cans is all, I buy the 40.5 oz cans,
they are often on sale. Refried beans freeze very well.

If you like refried beans that much buy ordinary canned beans in #10
cans, make up a big batch and freeze portions... a lot less expensive
than even dried beans and you'll know who's in it... and with a batch
in your freezer already you'll save a ton of time. I happen to prefer
refried beans made with black beans, but use what you like.

Have you tried putting the rest in a ziplock and freezing with? That's
what we do with tomato sauce.

Freezer space is to valuable for leftovers. Besides, I no longer have to deal with the marginal flavor of the canned beans.

Your subject line misplaced the emphasis, because it focused on the
lack of waste, which gave the impression that you were in the habit of
buying canned beans. No one habitually buys something they don't like
unless their options are severely limited (which yours are not, thanks
to Amazon) or they're a masochist (which I guess you could be, but the
assumption is not).

The Rosarita brand is pretty good, but my standards for foods that contain significant carbs have gone way up. I'd never buy Old El Paso or Carlita beans these days. I did buy them in the past because they were sometimes on sale really cheap.

I like to buy the big bag of pinto beans at Costco. I don't remember
what it weighs, maybe 25-30 pounds. It will last me a year. I make a
big batches of refried beans and freeze them in small containers that
hold just enough for one meal. I do this several times a year. I
love the natural 'sweetness' of refried beans done this way. Again,
very little time involved and very little expense. But mostly I do it
this way because it is the only way that I can get the taste that I
prefer.

I don't want *their* grease, which is almost always crappy soy oil. I
think I'll use avocado oil to fry up my first batch.

He's paying $4/lb for the best, fastest, easiest, no waste, best

It's still white trash food if you ask me. I'll stick with my Monk's
Breakfast made from dried whole beans for abouty $1 a lb, which is
over priced but it's what the grocery storte charges for dried beans.

What sort of grease do you fry them in? That should affect the flavor,
I would think.

With only beans and salt just open an ordinary can of plain beans...
and unless they contain fat they ain't any kind of fried.

I may or may not fry them at all. When I do fry them it is in bacon
grease. It's really only a small proportion of the total. If I have
about 5 quarts of cooked beans I'll put a 'spoonful' of bacon grease
in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet. I'd say the spoonful is definitely
less than 1/4 cup of bacon grease per skillet. The 5 quarts of beans
will cook down to a brimful skillet of mashed, refried beans.
Seasoning for the beans is salt, 4 cloves garlic, one medium onion,
one teaspoon sugar, a teaspoon or to taste of cumin. All of the
seasoning is cooked with the beans. The bacon grease that I have is
not particularly smoky. The resulting beans do not taste particularly
of any seasoning. It's just a nice toasty, beany flavor without the
kind of (acid?) undertones you get with canned refried beans.

I've also used lard to fry them. Lard produces a sweeter, toastier

I cook refried beans in the pan that fried pork chops seasoned with
Penzeys adobo in olive oil... so pork fat and olive oil... and all the
fond from frying well seasoned pork... doesn't get any better. I
almost always make refried beans when I fry pork chops.

That sounds even tastier than my plan to use avocado oil, and pretty
close to being as healthful.
Penzey's adobo seasoning is nice on both pork and chopped chicken
breast.

I think that John is smart enough to find a way to die painlessly.

Well, I guess I would settle for that. How about it Johny? Time for
the dirt nap. Your life is ****ed and you know it.

You KNOW IT!! For years I used to figure a nice big fat dose of heroin
would be a pretty painles way to go! And I'm sure it would be. I mean
you hear all the horror stories of junkies dying with the needle still
in their arm! And heroin is certainly an analgesic!

Problem is, if I were to weant to do that that would mean I'd have to
procure a large dose of heroin, and I'm not in the habit of procuring
heroin at all! So that woukld not be very feasible for me.

But since I got into kayaking I discovered a thing called hypothermia!
And one of the warning signs to watch for to tell that someone is
going hypothermic is called the "umbles". They mumble, stumble and
fumble as hypothermia starts decreasing neural function. And pain is a
neural function! And cold is free and easily available! Happens every
Winter!

Do us all a favor and just do it. I'm sure mommy will be relieved to
be rid of her "tenant". And HR departments will be able to cross one
more name off their black lists. Are you one of those dumb shits who
keeps applying for jobs when they've passed you over multiple times?
HR specialists have a name for "applicants" like you.

OK, just wishful thinking - but if I think hard enough until it
happens.

Okay. I know it's not at Safeway because I looked at every one of the
bins the last time I was in there. I know I've seen dried hummus at a
store I rarely shop in, but I don't remember refried beans.
