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.

We love this soup & it calls for 3 cans of Pinto Beans. I usually put in 4 cans when I make it.
1 lb. ground beef
1 large onion (chopped)
3 (15 oz) cans Pinto Beans w/jalapenos (I use 4 cans)
1 (16 oz) can whole kernel corn
1 can chopped tomatoes
1 can tomato sauce (8 or 16 oz according to preference)
1 (4 oz) can chopped green chilies
1 package taco seasoning
1 envelope Ranch Dressing
1 (4 oz) can sliced black olives
5 cups water (more or less depending on your preference)
Cook beef & onion in large pot, stirring until crumbled. Drain off fat. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat & simmer for 15 minutes.

I do a nice salad with chick peas but maybe your pinto beans would work? It is 2 cans of rinsed chick peas, 3 coloured peppers sliced into slivers, a red onion sliced into slivers, broccoli and cauliflower bits and oil and vinegar dressing tossed in.

I made a ham the other day and with that have lots of dinner options. Today the bone will be cooked for soup and beans will go into that. I would say hubby and I get at least 6 meals out of a ham portion so ends up only costing about $2 per meal. To me using a turkey or ham goes a long way and is economical. Now with people spending more time in their homes, maybe more real cooking could be done.
Ideas for leftovers: sandwiches, salad, hot dishes, soup, omelets, and portions can be frozen for later use. Although ham is not good frozen for long periods.
Happy cooking and eating!
