Pinto Bean Pie

You might not believe this recipe but it is real and it works. It looks and taste a lot like pecan pie.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups of mashed pinto beans
1 egg beaten plus 2 egg yolks beaten.

Directions:

Mash beans until they are completely mashed. Combine sugar, spices, add beans, egg, egg yolks and mix. Bake at 350 degrees F. in a pie shell for 1 hour 10 minutes.

If you like, you can add 1/2 cup coconut.

It sounds so strange it took me a long time before I was brave enough to try it but I was pleasantly surprised. You might be too. Let me know what you think.

Pinto Bean Pie

I am looking for a recipe for pinto bean pie. It might be called "Soup Bean Pie". I had this pie several years ago and the person that had made it has passed away. I hope you can help me. I would like to try to make it for my family.

RE: Pinto Bean Pie

Hi Leila! There are a few recipes on the internet. I saw one with coconut, but this one doesn't have coconut in it. You can look for more by keying "Pinto Bean Pie Recipe" in your search engine. Here's just one: http://www.recipezaar.com/28902 (01/23/2006)

RE: Pinto Bean Pie

When I got this recipe a few years ago I just couldn't bring myself to try it for a long time. Pinto Bean pie sounds very strange. When I did get the nerve to try it, I was pleasantly surprised. This pie tastes a lot like pecan pie. Just be sure to mash the beans up very well.

Pinto Bean Pie

1/2 cup pinto beans, mashed while hot
1 stick melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup coconut
2 eggs, beaten well

Mash beans, stir in butter, sugar, coconut, vanilla. Pour into a pie shell and bake 350 degrees F for 45 minutes. It's actually pretty good!! (01/23/2006)
