Hi, Joanne.

Pinto beans. You buy them dry? If so, soak them overnight before using. Cover the beans with water and just leave them for 24 hours. Next day, drain off the water, put the beans in a baking pot, add tomato juice and canned, stewed tomatoes (enough to cover the beans), I package onion soup mix, 1 tablespoon prepared mustard, salt, pepper and 1/4 cup molasses. Cover. Bake at 350 degrees F. for two hours. Delicious!

Hope you enjoy, Rose Anne

if you have a favorite recipe for baked beans it can be used for any type bean.
my favorite is to add to cooked beans drained of most liquid, ketchup, brown sugar and a little yellow mustard to taste. chopped onions and green peppers sauteed just to soft can be added too. (10/23/2006)

Baked Beans from Scratch

• 2 cups dried Navy beans or pinto beans
• 1 cup brown sugar
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 strips bacon
• 2 T butter or margarine

To shorten cooking time, place beans in a large saucepan and soak overnight in deep cold water. The next morning, do not drain but cook beans in the soaking cold water. Bring beans to a full boil over high heat; reduce heat so mixture barely simmers. Simmer until beans are tender, about 2 hours. Drain off all but about a cup of the boiling liquid.

Butter a deep round two-quart casserole. Pour beans into casserole dish. Stir in brown sugar, salt and pepper. Lay strips of raw bacon to top of beans. Dot with butter in between bacon strips.

Bake at 350 degrees Funcovered 1-1/2 to 2 hours until bacon is browned but beans are still moist.
