I don't have any specific recipes which I can share but just use your imagination. Today I made a kettle of chili using red beans and kidney beans. I see no reason why you could not substitute pinto beans when making chili. How about using pinto beans to make a casserole using several different kinds of beans. I have eaten such dishes which had a combination of butter beans, pork and beans and other types of beans. Combine the beans, add brown sugar, catsup, bacon or ham, and a little onion if you desire. When tucked in the oven and allowed to bake it makes a very tasty addition to a meal. How about combining pinto beans, canned tomatoes, and hamburger? I can see this combination served with cornbread. I guess my favorite method of cooking is mix, dump, and stir. One can come up with some tasty combinations without having a specific recipe. Let us know how you come out.
