3 tsp. Tabasco sauce
4 cup Water
1 tsp.. Smoked paprika

Instructions

Place the olive oil in a medium sauce pan over medium heat.

Recipe Notes

This is a riff on traditional refried beans with great Southern flavors of smoky paprika, sage, and hot sauce. Most refried beans contain a lot of lard even though it’s not really necessary. Slow cooking the beans breaks down the great quality carbohydrates in the legumes and helps create the great creamy texture that you crave in refried beans without all the fat. These make a great side dish with a simple roasted chicken breast or Sage Mustard Pork Tenderloin.
