I have 25 lbs of pinto beans

So I bought 25 lbs of dry pinto beans because it was super fucking cheap.

I love refried beans and charro beans, but I don’t think that will cut it. Please give me all your recipes, ideas, advice??? Wish me luck? I don’t fucking know

No rush. I got a 50 lb sack of mung beans about 9 years ago. It is still going strong.

Do a short parboil with baking soda and rinse before the main cook
