How to Make Baked Pinto Beans

  1. In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 medium onion (chopped), 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Cook until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a 1 1/2-quart casserole dish.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of pinto beans (drained and rinsed) and 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa.
  4. Bake, covered, in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 30-35 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  5. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) during the last 5 minutes of baking. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
