Pie...made from Pinto Beans
Idaho's Pinto Bean Pie
- 1 heaping cup mashed pinto beans (Note: 1 1/2 cups cooked beans equals about 1 cup, mashed)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell
Blend sugars, eggs, and butter until creamy. Add the mashed beans and blend thoroughly.
Pour into a 9-inch unbaked pie shell. Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake for an additional 25 minutes or until a knife inserted into the pie comes out clean.

Currently soaking the pinto beans. I put them in before work. They should be ready soon. I've had a version of this pie (also called Mock Pecan Pie) before. It was delicious. I'm about to find out if this on is any good.
Edit: Beans didn't get soft. Caved an bought canned pinto beans. Pie tasted delicious.
