Patio Pintos
Any time Mom had the gang over for dinner, she made these pinto beans. Once she made a batch for my cousin’s birthday, and he ate the entire thing. —Joan Hallford, Fort Worth, Texas

I did use other ingredients as I did not have the pinto beans on hand. I used 15.5-oz. Great Northern Beans, drained and rinsed and 19.75-oz. can pork and beans, 1 cup prepared cooked crumbled bacon, one can (8-oz.) tomato sauce (Italian-style). Sugar, canned chilies and seasonings were kept as is. Used 2-qt. greased casserole, greased and baked 70 minutes, covered! This dish did come out really tasty!
These are easy and delicious! Even better the next day.
Wonderful recipe! This is definitely a keeper for us. It has just enough *zip* to make it interesting.
