Directions
Rinse pinto beans thoroughly with cold water.

Wonderful! I cooked these overnight and hit them with a stick blender in the morning--smooth and easy. I weighed the whole batch on a gram scale and divided by 8 to get portion sizes. Doubled the garlic, added sage, cayenne, cumin, and allspice, halved the salt and skipped the pepper. Thanks!! - 1/23/10
