     I loved this recipe! I havn't cooked Pinto Beans in 20 years! I didn't know my husband would like them. I took the advice of some of the other cooks and spiced it up a bit with extra garlic, greek seasoning, cummin, chilli powder. It was spicy but I'll tweek it more the next time. - 11/1/09

     I thought this was delicious served plain on a warm flour tortilla. I added a little garlic. I am taking the dip and recipe to my school's "Spark" meeting tomorrow. - 2/3/09

     I made this but added a package of Lawery's HOT taco seasoning to the beans as they were cooking and also browned some Louis Rich ground turkey and added another packge of Lawery's HOT taco seasoning to it.

     I thought this was good. Very very very easy to make, which was a plus. I thought it was a little bland though. After reading the last comment I added pepper flakes, garlic powder, cumin, and salt, and still found it to be somewhat bland.
    Husband liked it though!! - 6/14/07

     Based on other reviews saying it was bland, I made mine with medium salsa and I added garlic and a light sprinkling of taco seasoning. It was zesty and good. - 12/4/09

     I made something similar with ground tomatoes, carrotts and corn with added chili spices. Yum! - 10/22/08

     I made this, but I added pinto bean seasoning and bacon for flavor. When it was done, I topped it with cheese and sour cream. This recipe was awesome, and I will definitely make it again. - 7/29/07

     The entire family really enjoyed this. Very simple, but satisfying. I think I'll add a bit more spices to it next time thought, or use a really good quality fresh salsa. The jarred stuff left it a little on the boring side. - 4/25/07

     I use the Southwest Black bean and white corn salsa and add garlic. It's really good. - 4/15/07

     I used a chunky medium salsa, and the beans were wonderful. - 5/1/11

     i have made something similar, but adding a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes ( pick your favorite flavor) and a little Mexican seasoning. So good!!!! Wrap it in a low carb tortilla with a little cheddar cheese - heaven on earth! - 2/17/11

     Didn't try the original recipe. After reading some comments I did my own "take". I added a chopped chicken breast and a packet of taco seasoning. That combo was a bit salty for me, but adding the chicken was a real PLUS. Will continue to experiment and come up with perfect pintos. THANKS! - 2/10/11

     Good stuff, next time add some seasoning b/c it is bland for my families taste. Great on tortillas and tortilla chips or just as a snack.

    Also for those how need to know bag size, most dried bean bags come in 16 oz. - 1/16/11

     Help! I don't know what sized bag of pinto beans to use. I bought my pinto beans at Sam's club in the enormous size, and now I am not sure how many to use for this recipe. Looking forward to trying it once I figure this out.

     This was the easiest, tastiest recipe ever. I added no meat & my meat and potato loving husband claimed that he did not even miss the meat. I did add a little smoke seasoning, but little else & I just cooked at a simmer on top of the range, adding water as needed. Yum O!! - 1/31/10
  • ORDINARYJULIE
     Super easy to tweak to taste with your favorite salsa and can compliment a salad with great protein. - 10/14/09

     Love the recipe, I eat all beans so this will be delightful! Thank you!! I'm really enjoying this support system on SP! ~Chrissy - 7/12/09
  • STEELPRNCS9
     I made this with just a little extra garlic. Pretty good. I liked having it around to just spread on corn tortillas for a protein boost before I worked out! - 6/29/09
