“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.

    So you’d normally say “that’s too much!” in which case the subject “that” is plural and countable so therefore “much” would be correct.

    Otherwise you should say “you have given me too many refried beans!” since the beans are volumetric and not countable entities.
