I followed the recipe exactly and the beans were still undercooked.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pinto beans. I added some chopped onion and green pepper to the beans, and I used a Mexican cheese blend for the crust. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the beans were still undercooked. I had to cook them for an additional 30 minutes. Other than that, the recipe was great. The beans were flavorful and the cheese crust was delicious.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some chili powder and cumin to the beans, and that helped a lot. I also think next time I'll use a different type of cheese for the crust. Overall, this is a good recipe, but it needs a few tweaks

This recipe is easy to follow and the results are delicious. I used canned pinto beans, but I think next time I'll try using dried beans. I also added a little bit of cumin to the beans for extra flavor.
