pinto beans
(2 RATINGS)
This is one of my favorite meals it reminds me so much of my grandmother who cooked these beans with every meal. My grandfather would always tell me he taught my grandmother how to cook these. When I cook them I always love to add cornbread and fried potatoes. My kids love these too!
