I think they will be mush<sigh> but......if you dehyde canned beans or
cook dried beans and then dehyde them, they really only need to be
rehydrate and heated.  I do them with dried onion flakes and bacon bits
and add a packet of  Chinese take out sweet sour sauce and soy sauce.yummy.

BTW...I found a good deal on dehydrated refried beans and salsa dehydrates
great.  Slap that in a pita and yeehaa!!!!!!
