Mountain Woman Pumpkin Balls

This is a recipe I first found on Women of the Fur Trade, but have modified a wee bit.  I use black refried beans.  I make half plain, and half with some added cinnamon sugar.  This is Rob and my favorite travel food, and I keep them on hand alot for breakfast food too!  They are so tasty, and though most people look at them odd I have yet to have someone not like them!  Enjoy!

Mountain Woman Pumpkin Balls

2 Packages of Jiffy Cornbread Mix.
1 Can of Black Refried Beans (12 to 15 oz)
1 Can of Pumpkin (12 to 15 oz)

Optional:
Cinnamon Sugar to Taste

If Needed:
Extra Cornmeal

Mix the Cornbread Mix, Black Refried Beans, and Pumpkin together in large bowl till cookie dough texture. (Add Cinnamon Sugar if Desired.)  If not think enough add a bit of cornmeal till at right texture.  Roll into dough balls and cook on tray in oven at 225 till dried out.  At 5,500' this took 1 and 1/2 hours.
