I have used a recipe very similar to this using pinto beans for years. It was my grandmothers recipe and my sons still consider it a treat. We make beans just for the leftovers just for bean patties. you can leave out the rice and change the seasoning to suit your taste and mood. Try it!!!! - 11/18/11
