DEB'S BURGER BEANS

I can't believe that I never remembered to post this on here!!! This is one of my all time favorite things to cook AND eat! You can make use of a slow-cooker for cooking the beans if you have one.

Ingredients:
1 pound dry pinto beans
1/2 pound superlean ground beef or buffalo
1 onion,chopped
1 can Rotel diced tomatoes with chilies
1 can low-sodium tomato sauce
Garlic powder,to taste
Chili powder, to taste
Red pepper, to taste (either ground or flakes)
Salt,to taste
Black pepper,to taste

Directions:
Soak and cook pinto beans with NOTHING in them. (If you season them with anything while cooking, it changes the flavor of the end result.)When the beans are done, brown your meat with the chopped onion in it. While you are browning the meat and onions, add the tomatoes,tomato sauce and all the rest to the pot of bean and stir it up. I usually sort of mash some of the beans against the side of the pot to make the broth a little thicker. When the meat/onion is browned, dump it into the beans and stir. Let it simmer about 15 minutes to heat through.

EAT!I have no idea how many this serves. Unless you have a big family, plan on leftovers or try reducing the amounts. I have to tell you though that the leftovers are almost better than the first time you have it. Try it with cornbread.This sort of sounds like chili, but it does NOT even resemble chili in taste!
