Breakfast- melt 1 Tablespoon of butter add beans to the pan and mash (refried beans), add seasoning to taste. Serve with eggs and tortillas or make breakfast tacos with egg and ham.

Lunch- refry them and make nachos, add cheese and sour cream.

Dinner-fry tortillas flat in oil and lay on paper towles to remove excess grease. Spread refried beans, ground beef, cheese, or what ever you like to make tostadas.

Texas Rice & Beans:

4 T shortening
1 large onion, diced
1 # ground beef
2 T. chili powder
2 t. black pepper
2 cups (or however many you like) of pinto beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1/4 t. garlic salt
2 t. salt

Brown meat & onions in shortening. Add dry seasonings, beans & tomatoes. Cook on low heat about 30 minutes.
Serve over rice.

I usually serve w/ cornbread or broccoli cornbread

My family has been serving and eating this for years!! It's an adaptation of a recipe in the Typically Texas Cookbook published in 1970 by the Texas Electric Cooperatives, Inc. I got my cookbook passed down from my grandmother, but my mom has one as well! It's one of the best cookbooks I have ever used!! Hope you enjoy! It's super easy to make!

I like stopshopsave's ideas too!!!

Make a mexican stew. Cornbread with added meat and cheese and beans. Bean dip for snacks. Beans and rice meals are hearty.
