Sounds a lot like how my Mother used to make them. The only differences that I can see is that she didn't use a tomato/chicken cube and instead of just pinto beans, she would mix pintos and great northerns about half and half. Now if I see a bowl of just pinto beans alone, it looks like there is something wrong. Gotta have the great northerns too. I make mine the same way she does. That and a plate of cornbread (no sugar thank you very much ) hot out of the oven ...... man I'm getting hungry all of a sudden .....
