Cat lover, I have some leftover pinto beans. However, I noticed that this reciped doesn't call for eggs. How well do they hold together?

The flour holds it together. I guess because of the "thickened juice" that is usually with the leftover beans that combined with the flour always seems to work. I guess if you had problems you could add an egg, but I've never had to do that.

Thanks! I don't think I have enough left over this time (The GKs helped me eat them LOL) but I am definately going to make them next time.
