½ Teaspoon Black Pepper

Heat in pan for 30 seconds, then add:

These pinto beans are so tender and full of flavor, but yet so easy!  I love beans of any kind and was wanting to make some pinto beans to go with our chicken tomatillo tamales.  When I make beans, I like to make a lot!  Tonight, all I had on hand was one small can or a gallon sized can.  Nothing in between.  So, I went with the small can.  These were so tasty.  The broth had a nice, delicate smoky flavor from the Power Blend.  Bruce isn’t as “into” beans as I am, but he absolutely loved these beans…..so much so, I sacrificed the leftovers and let him take them to the office for lunch the next day!  A true act of LOVE!!  So there you have it, Super Easy and Delicious Pinto Beans!

I hope you enjoy making these beans!  And, when people ask, “what makes this taste so good?”…you can proudly say, “It’s My Rub!”

Thanks for reading!
