Pinto Bean Pie
Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe is a variation on pecan pie, it uses real pecans but also the beans to give it a different texture. Most people will not realize that the beans have been added.... makes pecan pie go a lot further. And it is a great way to use up leftover pintos.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 cup cooked pinto beans
1 can coconut
4 eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
3 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 sticks of margarine
3 unbaked pie shells
Directions
