"Served with cinnamon rolls, it's a mild chili powder since it was served for kids. Serve with a bunch of crushed soda crackers. Some folks thought this was too salty, so start low and add if you need to. Just cover the beans with water and add more as needed, you don't want this too watery even with the bread crumbs, some folks start with canned pinto beans, those have salt so again plan accordingly that would probably be 3 or 4 cans of pintos, but that would be faster with some boiling water as needed."
