Are you inundated with multiple cans of baked beans? Do you hate to let them go knowing that they are packed full of nutrients and fiber? Most canned beans received from food banks contain only 4 - 7 mg of sugar! They are a healthy snack alternative! Try this delicious recipe below:
14 oz. can baked beans
2 tab. lemon juice
1-2 tab. chili powder
Gently drain off extra fluid from baked beans. You want a tad of liquid still in the can to keep consistency. Set the stove top temperature on med./low. Put beans into a fry pan (preferably black iron if you have it), and begin smashing beans with the back of a spoon. They will quickly become the consistency of refried beans in minutes. Add 2 tab. of lemon juice and stir. Keep stirring until beans begin to resemble refried beans and lose some moisture content. This is the beauty of it! You can make your bean dip thin or thick depending on personal preference. Add chili powder, adjusting for taste. Enjoy with vegetables or corn chips.
