1/2 med. onion, diced
1&1/2 cup water
1 can refried beans (watch out for lard)
1 can tomato sauce
1 to 1&1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Bring water to boil. Add onion and cook on med. boil till fairly transparent. Reduce heat to low. Add remaining ingredients. Stir till beans are smooth and heated, a minute or two. I ate it with a dollop of sour cream and some raw diced onion but it is good without any garnish at all. I hope you like it, Connie
