Baked pinto beans and onions have a thick, rich flavor that echoes with memories of the past. The perfect recipe to pour over top of gluten free cornbread. Pintos, onions, and cornbread will sooth a sore throat and bring comfort on a chilly winter's evening. Pinto beans can be cooked from a hard shelled bag. This process takes most of a day. Cook a bag, bake a meal's worth, and then freeze the boiled beans. In fact, baked pintos and cornbread can be prepared at any time of year, frozen in individual servings, and ready to cook when needed.
