Naturally Santa Fe Beans
This is an excellent recipe for Haystack or a side dish. Be sure to sort the beans, laying them out on their flat side, looking for those sneaky rocks hidden the bag of beans. I found 1 rock per bag of beans, which could cause a trip the dentist for a tooth crack. Here is game you can play: find the rock - hint: it is gray in color!
