Really bad can of Beans

We have been buying this this brand for years and have in the past always liked it, however the last two cans we bought and opened were nothing bit brown water with no beans in them whatsoever so ever. Needless to say our dinner meal was partially ruined both times and we are now planning on switching to another bantams of beans.

Metallic soapy taste?!

Had a family reunion yesterday, I was in charge of the 3-layer dip. Luckily I tried it first even though too late since already at the reunion. Checked all the layers, it was definitely the beans that tasted metallic and soapy so hastily threw the whole thing away. I was so embarrassed.

Old El Paso is great for our multi-generational family

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Paso refried beans are great! My wife and I have been married almost 40 years and have always used Old El Paso. They are creamy, versatile, and a good addition to every Tex-Mex recipe we make. They are also very good as a stand alone dip with tortilla chips. Our grandson uses them to make a burrito for an after-school snack, or sometimes just has them with cheese and salsa. They are a great source of protein and seasoned perfectly as they are.

Tasty refried beans with cheese

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love Old El Paso products, I would recommend Old El Paso products to anyone . We have Tacos every Tuesday and I make the refried beans and yellow rice to accompany our chicken tacos. I also add a giant pile of cheese to the top of the beans. Sooo good

Rancid lard?

I always bought the vegetarian. My husband got these. Very peculiar taste. I can only think cooked in rancid lard. Tastes like bad boar meat. I cannot kill the funny taste with pepper, chili powder, chili lime, etc. Vgetarian never had bad taste. I'm just going to make my own from kidney& black beans.Don't worry I'll still use your enchilada sauce. Don't change it, please.

Chemical Taste

Reading through these reviews, it's obvious that whatever Old El Paso did to their refried beans is a massive fail. Many of the reviews talk about the beans being watery and tasteless. However, the can I opened had a taste - that of chemicals. Threw the whole can right in the garbage. This used to be my favorite brand of refried beans, but I can't trust it and won't be buying it anymore.

Yummy refried beans for tostadas!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Old El Pasco refried beans are excellent to use in making tostadas. We easily mix them up with our hamburger meat without clumping or drying out the mixture. Our favorite is the Old El Paso green chiles refried beans, but the traditional works just as well.

Tastes like straight chemicals

DO NOT BUY THESE BEANS!!! I wish I could give zero stars. I tried them out for the first time. Did a quick taste test once they were warm and it tasted like I ate a mouthful of straight chemicals. It left a HORRENDOUS after taste in my mouth. Checked the date of expiration and it said they don’t expire for another year! I had my fiancé try it to make sure it wasn’t just me and he almost threw up! I chucked them. I had another can I bought at a different location which was also “fresh” and not expired, opened them and no shocker those ones also smelt the same with a rotten odor of chemicals. Had to throw out both. I won’t be shocked if I get sick from the one bite I had. THESE BEANS NEED TO BE BANNED!!

Very versatile kitchen staple. Great tasting!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these refried beans! Perfect base on a tostado. Great as a side dish. A stick to your ribs kind of food. Add chili and cheese and turn them into a main dish as well. Use them as a dip for tortilla chips. Just heat and eat.
