Answer 1

Turn them into homemade chili served with cornbread. Second choice would be bean burritos ( heat beans over low, mash & mix with taco sauce ) Fill burritos & cover with shredded cheese & bake til bubbly....Serve with lettuce, tomato, sour cream & guacamole sauce!!

Answer 2

Mexican Beef and Bean Stew:

1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup onions, coarsley chopped
1 (15 ounces) can pinto beans, drained
1 (16 ounces) can whole kernel corn, drained
1 (10.75 ounces) can beef consomme or beef broth
1 cup chunky salsa (I use Pace)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves minced garlic

Dredge the beef in flour, and brown in oil in skillet. Put browned meat into crockpot and cover with remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs or until beef is tender.

Answer 3

Bring 1 TSP of oil up to temperature (med-high) in a skillet. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper. Sautee the onions and pepper until the onion begins to turn clear. Add
a pound of lean hamburger meat to the skillet and brown the meat with the onions and pepper. Add salt and pepper. Add about a quart of the leftover beans (or more wouldn't hurt) and a can of cream of mushroom soup to the skillet. Reduce heat to low and stir mixture until the contents begin to "boil". Turn the heat off, place a lid on the skillet, and allow to sit for about 15 minutes. I call this dish "Hobo Stew".

Answer 6

I have the perfect solution for you. Pick up som ground beef if you dont already have it and chili powder to make a tasty chili. It will be so good. You might as well cook some cornbread with it. You will thank me if you do this. (The chili powder is not a must but it adds the edge)

Answer 7

I always cook rice with pinto beans.

I would suggest some minute steaks or baked chicken breast. On the side have some macoroni and cheese and cornbread. Now you're talking about a meal that will have some substance!
