Baking

This baked bean recipe is a staple at our place, we make it at least once a month and then freeze the leftovers. <br /> <br />Top 3 reasons why we love cooking with pinto beans, they are a source of... <br /> - iron <br /> - protein <br /> - fiber (fiber contributes to healthy digestion, controls blood sugar levels and helps lower the risk of heart disease) <br /> <br />A food switch that works for us...a few years ago we ate hamburger meat a little too much (umm I mean a lot too much) the saturated fat was not doing us any good. These beans have been the perfect healthy alternative to this old habit. <br /> <br />We use these beans all kinds of ways... <br /> - on there own as the protein portion of a meal <br /> - in cute little slider bean joes (its a play on sloppy joes) <br /> - as a nacho dip (mash up with the back of a fork) add some fresh cilantro, yum!
