It's what Yankees make out of their leftover chili.

Being of Yankee origins, I have never heard of it and it is not in any of the cookbooks that I have either....

Never heard of bean pie, but bean casserole is a thing. The good ones are mostly beans, onions, peppers, but Mom almost always used "bean" casserole to use up leftovers or garden extras, like squash and peas. We called it vomit casserole.

What is it? A bean casserole in a shepherd's pie like dough?

Cooked pintos, has sugar, coconut, seems like an egg or two and probably some spices and baked in a pie shell. You'd never know it was pinto beans. Something like this: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/pinto-bean-pie/

I never would've guessed Pinto Bean pie was a real pie topped with pecans and served with whipped cream!
Seeing the photo of it, I'd give it a go if it was served to me.

I'd certainly give it try, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around "why?". What is the advantage of making/eating this pie compared to, let's say, eating a bowl of beans with pecan pie on the side? (I know I've lived a sheltered life when it comes to various delicacies such as this. Heck, I just discovered spicy mayonnaise last weekend)

I'm thinking a depression era invention when people had to make due with what they had and beans were cheap.
The pecans and whipped cream were probably added to grandma's family recipe after WWII.
Mom was 11 at start of the depression 9 kids in the family 7 girls and 2 boys were the youngest. I remember her talking with sisters about the worst meals their Mom made. They all agreed they hated the goose blood soup she would make after they would butcher geese. Nothing went to waste. She claims they all ate it without making a fuss, even Pa.
I liked her story about the girls having to go out in the fields to shock grain. It would be so hot; Pa would put the horses
in the barn. Too hot for the horses, but the kids had to keep working.
Grandpa bought his 1st tractor in 1939 a 17 hp John Deere B and thought he really had something.

Makes sense as to why nobody had heard of it here. It was 1930 depression era invention by muslims.

His son added a 26 hp John Deere A with electric start in 1952 and thought he was cooking with Crisco.
