“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.

    A technically correct alternative would be to drop that plural “s” but forego any uncountable noun that describes the form the beans take: “I had too much refried bean today.”

    In the wrong context it might evoke the idea of one enormous bean that the speaker was unable to finish, but like I say, technically correct.
