Pinto Beans
Monday July 28, 2008
Beans are a staple in my family's house and these ones are slow-cooked with onion and garlic to bring out the warm and hearty flavors. These Pinto Beans are wonderful as a side dish, but can be eaten alone as well. Just top them with some chopped onions and cilantro and you've got yourself a meal.

I love pinto beans,my husband loves them also, but my problem is that i get gasey my stomach gets bloated. my mother-in-law says to put garlic when i’m cooking them, how true is this?
I don’t know about the garlic, however Baking soda does work. Put about a teaspoon full in the water when you put the bean on to cook. Use more or less depending on the amount of bean you are cooking
I have heard – never tried – that adding a potato to the pot of beans while cooking will absorb the gas-producing ingredient
