What is it? A bean casserole in a shepherd's pie like dough?pinto bean pie is good.
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/What is it? A bean casserole in a shepherd's pie like dough?
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 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.

Funny thing....he did have something... My dad wore out 2 of them.Grandpa bought his 1st tractor in 1939 a 17 hp John Deere B and thought he really had something.
His son added a 26 hp John Deere A with electric start in 1952 and thought he was cooking with Crisco.Funny thing....he did have something... My dad wore out 2 of them.
The 26hp of then would outpull 5 of the 26hp now.His son added a 26 hp John Deere A with electric start in 1952 and thought he was cooking with Crisco.
