Ingredients:
3 tablespoons bacon grease
3/4 cup finely chopped onions
1 small finely chopped seeded jalapenos
2 (15 ounce) cans small red beans, one partially drained
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cumin
salt
pepper
2 drops liquid smoke (optional)
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend

Directions:
Melt bacon grease in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add onions and jalapeno; cook and stir until tender; add beans a half-can at a time, stirring to incorporate; add seasonings to taste.
Cook beans, stirring frequently with wooden spoon and mashing them (use the back of the wooden spoon or even a potato masher) as you go, for 15-20 minutes until liquid evaporates and beans thicken; top with cheese and serve.
NOTE: If you like your refritos especially smooth, run them through the blender or food processor before cooking.
