I was at the store today checking prices on my way home ,holy cow stuffs out of hand ..went on Amazon to try and load up on my goodies like these beans....dammmm .... they won't ship up here anymore,, prices went up couple cents an ounce .....but I did find a company that ain't learned our shipping prices yet.....got me two more cases coming..I'm set for quite a while!

Had a Mexican cook offshore that cooked dried pinto beans then fried them and mashed them as they fried. He used an excellent seasoning mix of his own. They were the best I have ever eaten. I don't hnow the seasoning mix but he fried them in bacon grease.

I use the dried as well, when I don't have time to make scratch. They have a much better flavor and you can mix them to any consistency you want.

Mexicali Rose is the brand I find locally. They have black beans too.

Yup.....

Tried making em for the first time a few days ago. Soaked for 24 hours, then used the pressure cooker. Didn’t want to add too much of any seasoning so I could have an accurate baseline of what they taste like naturally.

Not bad. Definitely needed more salt and reserved liquid than I expected.

Today we tried the dried beans from Amazon. Both the wife and I agreed they were far better than any canned beans we ever ate. When the bag goes empty we will order a case next time.
