To Liz who seems to be the expert cooking guru

Hi Liz or anyone else or may be able to answer,

I made homemade refried beans.  I soaked the beans overnight, boiled them this morning for over 2 hours with an onion and two gloves of garlic.  The house smells heavenly.  I took out the onion, drained the water and mashed the beans.  I added some olive oil, but they are dry.  Any suggestions?  I didn't fry the beans.  Should I do that too?

They taste good, but they're dry.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Have a great day everyone!

WEll I hate beans but I would suggest adding some water or chicken broth to them to thin them out a bit. Youcould probably also add some greek yogurt to make them creamy. I just checked a few of the recipes online and they all call for some of the cooking liquid - so if that is gone water or chicken broth looks like the way to go.

Enjoy!

Thanks for answering, Liz.  DARN!  I wish I had some of the bean broth, but....it's gone now.  Oh well, this was my first attempt.  I may add some oil and a tiny bit of the tomatoes I canned. 

That works! That was a great attempt for the first time!
