To prepare Schnucks Refried Beans, simply open the can and heat them on the stovetop or in the microwave. For stovetop heating, gently warm the beans in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. If microwaving, transfer the beans to a microwave-safe dish, cover loosely, and heat for a minute or two, stirring halfway through. You can also add a splash of water or broth if you prefer a thinner consistency. They are delicious served hot as a simple side.
