My Almost Famous Gluten Free Refried Beans

My almost famous gluten-free refried beans are always a hit when I make them for family and friends. They are cheesy and smokey and delicious!

Every time I make these beans I get asked for the recipe.  Here it is!  I really am not trying to hoard it for myself and my family!  Even though I am an only child, I have been told I am a remarkable sharer.    Please don’t judge the amount of bacon fat and cheese in these.  There are NO calories in them either!

I hope you love them as much as we do.  I don’t make them very often because of the amount of bacon fat and cheese in them as well as the amount of carbs from the beans and the huge pile of tortilla chips I need to eat them with. But when we do they are so delicious!  

Beans beans the musical fruit……. just sayin’I usually make these beans when we serve Mexican food at our house.  I love to make them with fajitas, tacos, enchiladas, or honestly, just by themself with a big bowl on tortilla chips to dip into it!  So yummy! 

My friend loves to take a warm corn or almond flour tortillas. She spreads the delicious bean mixture on it and eats it as a bean burrito!  I prefer the chip dip version or even with fried eggs in the morning!  I love the smokey flavor and of course the cheesy deliciousness!
