Vegetarian Refried Beans

The label says vegetarian but these beans are vegan. They have a very good taste and texture, especially for being canned goods.

I’m not sure why these don’t say vegan ? Because they are. Peep my puppy Benny in the background! 🐶

This one’s a confusing entry 👆 Old El Paso actually has 2 refried bean varieties 🫘 This is the “vegetarian” one with #tomatopaste but they also have an #accidentallyvegan normal version without it too 🫣 It shouldn’t come as a shocker though that this one is the nicer of them two! It packs some extra tang that the regular one is just missing. When my partner and I first saw this in store we actually had no idea what to do did it 😅 It kinda just looks like baby food! With some experimentation though I found that cooking it in red onions and chilli brings out so much life to it and I’ve just been treating it as my #carbilicious side to meals 😋 In picture one, served alongside none other than the awesome sausage patties by Beyond Meat 🍔

Good, basic refried beans that are vegan. Fairly boring but you can spice it up 

Fourth picture if you want to play spot-the-difference 😏 I was making a desperation burrito with the sole intention of disposing of the foul Phuture mince with which I had unfortunately become acquainted several post-traumatic weeks ago. In my quest to bury that under several heavy flavours, it was crowningly ironic that I turned to #refriedbeans which so resembled them in visual aspect 😬 (That one's on phuture, of course - they had one job and ended up making a refried beans wannabe instead 🙄)

These were decent in flavour and naughty in nutrition. I was more perturbed by the lack of a ring tab, which was a big minus point in an otherwise solid can design 😐 #cannedfood #lazyvegan
