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.
Dear Thrifty Fun.Com, I enjoy receiving the newsletter, however I'm having trouble logging in. It's been awhile since I registered and I'm not one to spend much time on the computer other than when necessary.
While viewing most recent newsletter a recipe I was pleasantly surprised and in shock I had finally found a recipe I had been searching for for years. I wanted to thank her for her contribution & hope she does well in the recipe contest.
Due to traveling while serving in ministry living near the Mexican border, living in New Mexico and Texas; Pinto Bean Pie was often brought to pot luck dinners, and get togethers.
The first time I ate pie I had no idea what kind of pie I was getting. I noticed others getting particular pie,visually looking similar to a southern favorite, pecan pie. It's an unusual combination, but was good. I'm hoping it's the same recipe.
Again, Thank-you for all who share. Regular viewer of Thrifty Fun.com Shelah -Memphis, TN.

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:

My mom use to make it for us. It was called Mock Pecan Pie. See if you can find the recipe under this name. (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)
