“Too many” kinda sounds right to my ear because beans is plural, but the second logically seems right because its served by volume and is not ‘countable’ as ordinary (non-destroyed) beans might be.

    What? That is not at all how that works. Beans is the plural of bean, therefore, many is the only correct option.

      Talking “refried beans” as a noun phrase, not beans.

      Refried beans does not have a plural noun form. You have to give it a unit. “twenty plates of refried beans,” “pounds of refried beans,” etc.

      It like oil. You don’t say “top up my car with oils.” If you add more than you’re supposed to, you put in too much, not too many.
