To prepare Hannaford Refried Beans, you can heat them gently on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, they can be heated in a microwave-safe dish. For a smoother consistency, you can add a small amount of water or broth while heating. They are excellent served hot as a simple side or incorporated into more complex recipes.
