You want a meal stretcher that taste good,well this is it.I can get atleast 3 meals outta this one pot of souper pintos.Got the recipe from a Southern Living magazine and the description on the recipe says to serve on hot dogs,in taco shells,but I like to use mine as a base for tostados and to make burritos with,but it can really be used in any mexican dish calling for ground beef or beans.It's really delicious!
