Notes

This recipe works as is, however, if you want to add a little kick to it, you can always add a few seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper or smoky paprika.

Onion-

I use a sweet yellow onion, but you can use whateve you've got on hand.

Beans -

I use beans that are seasoned with tomato sauce and paprika. (Ranch style beans; Western beans). You can use pinto beans or black beans or heck, even navy beans- just rinse and drain 'em first, Cowboy!
