New recipe I want to share
I am always lookiing for new recipes that taste good and work with protein requirements. I found this one that my family loves.
Easy Fiesta Beans (from http://lifestyle.msn.com/foodandentertaining/recipes)
16 -ounce can fat-free refried beans(cheap kind is ok)
15 ounce can no slat added pinto beans, rinsed
1/2 cup prepared salsa (picante works too)
2/3 cup grated cheddar cheese, divided
This says to broil, but I baked..still worked great.
Combine all beans, salsa and 1/3 cup cheese in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture is hot and the cheese is melted.
Spoon the bean mixture into a 2-qt baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining 1/3 cup cheese ( I drenched mine in cheese). Broil until the cheese is lightly browned about 2 minutes.
I baked mine until the cheese had melted. My family loved it. I hope you do too!
