Remember no one can bring your mood down unless you
allow them. So I hope your day is as pleasant as mine.
In today's post, I have a new recipe
for Pinto beans. For some unexplained reason my local Walmart has stopped
carrying the Hurst's Pinto Beans with
its ham favor pack, and trying to talk to a
grocery manager to ask him/her to restock items is nearly impossible.
Nevertheless, we love Hurst's Pinto Beans with its
ham favor packet but lacking this favorite product, I had to come up with a
recipe that offered the same tasty pinto bean soup favor that we have come to love over the
decade.
After many trials and errors with
different meats and flavorings. I have finally come up with a recipe using
plain pinto beans that is so similar in taste to the favor packet provided with
the Hurst's Pinto Beans that it is nearly a perfect match.
That said, below is my recipe for pinto beans soup.
