Beans can be ground into a flour and used to replace a small amount of flour in bread. The book Country Beans has a lot of information about using beans. I can't find mine. I may have given it away. Anyway try replacing about 1/3 of a cup to start with for each loaf of bread.
Ground Pinto beans can be made into refried beans by adding 1 cup of bean powder to 1 cup of water. You can adjust the consistency to whatever thickness you prefer.
Beans are really easy to can. They have to be done in a presser canner. Place 1 1/4 cup of beans in a quart bottle. Add 1 teaspoon of salt. Fill bottle with water leaving 1 inch of head space. Process at 15 pounds for 90 minutes. This is for 3500 to 4500 foot elevation. Adjust to your elevation.
