Delicious Pinto Beans!



Recommended Posts

I love pinto Beans, they are a low fat meal and have a decent amount of Protein. Plus they taste great on a winter day!

I like to make them the day before I plan on eating them, the tastes just seem to marry overnight.

4 cans of pinto beans (I like to buy sun vista or any other mexican food brand)

1/4 of a small white onion diced

1 small clove of garlic minced

garlic salt to taste

Take your diced onion and garlic and pour a tiny bit of juice from one of the cans of pinto beans into your cooking pan. Sweat them on low for two or three minutes getting them nice and soft. Pour in all the beans and juice from the cans. Cover pan with lid and cook low and slow for 45 minutes. I add garlic salt while cooking usually about two teaspoons. When in a hurry i have cooked a smaller batch on a bit higher of heat for 20 minutes or so and it worked fine for a meal.

After the cook I will have a small bowl and put the rest in the fridge and reheat the next day. They taste even better then.

Lightly brown a couple corn tortillas in a grease free cast Iron skillet and serve up on the side.

On my meal plan we can't have Beans until 3 mos. out. This recipe made me really, really hungry for them! I can't wait.

That is interesting, one of the things suggested by my nut for the mushies was refried Beans.< /p>

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
