I think this is a joke. If tries this one, please report back.

I don't do a lot of baking, but my family enjoys pecan pie, and we almost always have one at a holiday meal. To the best of my knowledge, we've never had one with beans in it. Since the beans and nuts are in equal portions, this almost sounds like a recipe that was developed for times when pecans were in short supply or too costly to use in the usual quantity for pecan pie. If I make it, I will let you know how it turns out, @DaveBrt. I'm intrigued by it, not only because I like pecan pie but also because I enjoy beans too.

Oh, no - this isn't a joke!



Bush's Beans has a recipe for it on their site - and they know beans! This is from their cafe, as a matter of fact.

It just shows our ancestors could figure out how to make something out of anything!

Yes, they have a recipe on their site, but not this one -- this one is sugar pie with bean and pecan flavoring.

I've tried a pinto bean pie in the past and it tasted pretty good. I was not aware of actual nuts being in the recipe. Maybe thats why it resembled a pecan pie.

Someone put a picture in my post. That may be what it would look like but their recipe calls for Navy Beans which I am sure would work as well. Thanks for adding the picture.

I noticed that! Navy bean cake is good.

I'm sure all of the above is very tasty, but I think I'll stick with some old fashioned fast food
such as . . . Nachos Bell Grande.

Never heard of Pinto beans before but thats because in Britain they're called Kidney beans, I don't like them at all, dry mushy things but I have to say that I'd give that Pinto bean pie a try. Just by the look of that pie, I imagine that it tastes similar to treacle tart.

Bush's serves their Pinto Bean Pie at their Visitor's Center in Chestnut Hill, Tennessee. The pie calls for sugar, margarine, vanilla, Pinto Beans, pecans and 2 eggs.

Another one of their (Bush's) desserts is Bush's Sweet Garbanzo Beans Cake. This one sounds very tasty and one to make.

That's because you're in the other hemisphere! South America, as they're discovering more and more - particularly in Bolivia - was an amazing hot bed of hot houses, amazing agricultural advances. Peru is the home of the humble pinto bean and all its humble relatives. Thousands of years ago Amazon Indians were mashing up beans and spreading them on corn tortillas...which corn they developed out of a grass you'd never suspect of being one of the world's most valuable crops. But the highlands of Mexico is where the pinto bean reached its true stature.

Europeans meeting beans was serendipity! They had pork! (And sugar...)

The Nation of Islam has been selling bean pies since the 1930s using Navy Beans . Their pies are delicious and I even used to sell them when I had a snack shop in Beverly Hills. Unfortunately I haven't seen a Nation of Islam our sales men in a while.

Would those beans be the same as the ones used in chilli con carne?

Yes, indeed! To me they're the best for chili, but kidney beans, black beans, even white beans are all good. I particularly like white beans for chicken chili. Now, if you're a Texan, you'll likely want the chili and a side of pintos - with jalapenos, of course!

I really enjoy chilli con carne so I think I'd be okay with those pintos, can't get enough of spicey food the hotter the better.

Don't forget the cornbread!

No, my friend. Pinto Beans are entirely different than Kidney beans.
