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.
