Pinto bean dip recipe

From   https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/234081/pinto-bean-dip/?print

I tried cooking a pound of beans in my slow cooker.  After 5 1/2 hours, I turned it off because the beans were cooked and starting to fall apart.  I cooked them with 1/2 large onion and some spices, but no salt, as that might interfere with how they cook.  I only needed about 2/3 of it for a soup I was making (note - one bag is probably the equivalent of 4-5 15oz cans of beans).  So I found this recipe as a way to use the rest.

It can use a bit more taste - I didn’t have peppers so I added a spice blend I had from another recipe that probably didn’t make up for the heat.  I did cut down on the salt, as was suggested and only used 1/4 tsp.  I added cumin and coriander, and now I’m letting it set for a while to see if I need to add anything else. 

Pinto Bean Dip

Just like the bean dip you buy in the store but a lot less expensive. The heat can be easily controlled.
