Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Bacon Grease, Or Canola Oil
2 teaspoons Garlic, Minced
2 cans (15 Oz. Size) Pinto Beans
Salt And Pepper, to taste
2 Tablespoons Taco Or Mexican Cheese (optional)

Directions

1

Heat bacon grease or canola oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add beans (drained or undrained; it depends on how thick you like your beans), and mash with a potato masher until it reaches the consistency you like. This is the great thing about this-you can make it exactly how you like it.
2

Reduce heat and cook for about 10-15 minutes, tasting and adding salt and black pepper to taste. I also like to stir in some taco/Mexican cheese, but it's not necessary.
