Refried Beans

Serves 6

Ingredients:
2 cans (15 ounce size) black soy beans (Eden Organics makes this)
6 bacon slices -- cut into tiny pieces
1 medium onion -- chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt -- to taste (or minced fresh garlic)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper -- to taste
1/4 teaspoon chili powder -- to taste
2 tablespoons heavy cream or chicken broth or water

Directions:
In a large skillet, cook the bacon until done and somewhat crispy. Set aside.
If using onion and fresh garlic, add them to the bacon grease in the pan and saute until tender.
Drain black soy beans. Put them into blender and blend until smooth.
Add butter to the onions in the skillet, let it melt, then add the black soy beans, garlic salt (if fresh garlic was not used), black pepper and chili powder. Mix thoroughly.
Add crumbled bacon into the beans and mix.
Add cream and continue to cook on very low heat for 10 minutes or so.

Serve as side dish, dip, or accompaniment/ingredient for other Mexican dishes
