I have never made pinto beans so I decided to give it a try. Great aroma in the home, this recipe is very economical. This bean dish is different flavor than my traditional navy bean (baked bean recipe. For the first time I make a new recipe I make it exact as recipe says. So flavorful and Texas style. Love the flavor great with dogs, grilled beer brats. Eat as a side or to top off a meat. Have made many of PW recipes and have not been disappointed.

This recipe is so good! I also wanted to say if you use the garlic press, your garlic will be really small pieces. but you'll get really good flavor from it. if you don't have one, get one. I used mine all the time instead of chopping the garlic up fine.

While I agree with AliH's assertion, below is Cook's Illustrated view on salting beans. You can or not salt while cooking beans.

March 2010
Dried Beans: Brine 'Em

Forget conventional wisdom warning against salting beans before they're cooked. Our testing revealed that adding salt to the overnight soaking liquid (2 teaspoons per quart of water—in effect "brining" the beans—yields better-seasoned and more evenly cooked results.

Oh, by the way, delicious!

They're beans so can't get really excited. For a smaller amount, use canned and doctor them up per recipe. Add chopped jalapeño. Great with the hotdog and chips.

I just watched the show and she said adamantly that you don't add salt til the end, so maybe correct the recipe to reflect the show? Otherwise this is how I make them, plain and everyone loves them! :
