INGREDIENTS

  • Main

    • 1 pound dry pinto beans
    • 🧅 2 onions, diced
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 ½ teaspoons pepper

  • Other

    • 🧈 ¾ cup butter
    • 🧀 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

STEPS

1

Soak pinto beans overnight in 1 quart of water.

2

Place beans into a large saucepan, and add water to cover. Add onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat until beans are tender, about 1 to 2 hours. Add additional water to the pan as needed to prevent burning.

3

Mash the beans with a potato masher, and mix in the butter. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and the butter is absorbed. Adjust seasonings to taste.

4

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread the bean mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
