Pinto Beans and Rice
I love to try different foods, and I especially like to see the reaction of my family when I put new dishes on the dinner table. This was a success. I've since served it at many potlucks and have been asked for the recipe every time.—Linda Romano, Mt. Airy, North Carolina

This recipe was easy and really tasty! I added the optional Liquid Smoke, ditched the salt and used 2 tablespoons of brown sugar which was plenty. If you make this add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and do a taste test of the sauce before adding more. I also used brown medium grain rice and added spot shrimp for more protein. It was perfect for a side dish and could be a main dish with added shrimp or meat.
This was good and easy. I only had 2 cups of rice so just used that. For us it was enough. My husband is not a pinto bean man but really enjoyed this. I will make again maybe change it up a bit but still a great base recipe.
We did not like this recipe at all. I think theKetchup & mustard ruined it. Just our opinion .
I made this for an elderly man that I cook for to bring to a potluck he was going to, and when he saw it he said, "Wow that looks good! I'll try to be first in line so I can get some." When I tried it it tasted very good and I think I'll make it at our house too. :)
Eliminated brown sugar and after baking topped with shredded cheese ....back in oven til melted!
I MADETHIS RECIPE AND WE REALLY LIKED IT. I COOKED MY OWN PINTO BEANS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE ALL THAT SODIUM IN THEM. I TOO WOULD COVER IT THE NEXT TIME OR PUT A LITTLE MORE LIQUID IN THEM. I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS TOO SWEET. I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE THIS AGAIN. I HAD SOME COOKED RICE I NEEDED TO USE TOO.
This was good for a baked bean dish, but I only put in 1 can of beans (that was plenty for us!). It was pretty sweet with only 2 Tbsp brown sugar and turned out kind of dry being cooked uncovered. I'd cover it next time.
Good and easy, I'll definitely make this again.
