Shoutout to my neighbor Betty who showed me dried beans are way better than canned

Betty knows what's up. The texture is completely different, canned beans get all mushy and weird while dried ones keep their shape and have that nice firm bite. Plus you can control the salt and seasonings from scratch instead of getting that weird metallic canned taste. Soaking them overnight and tossing in a bay leaf or some garlic while they simmer changes everything. Never going back to canned pinto beans for my refried beans, they turn out way creamier.

Gotta agree with @abbyl49, dried beans are just better for refried ones. That metallic taste from canned is hard to get rid of.
