Bean Pie may not sound appetizing, but trust...it is! It's not too sweet but sweet enough. If you are one who loves a slice of pie as a side to a main dish, then this recipe is for you.
Ingredients:
🔹️2 9-inch Deep Pie Crust
🔹️2 cans of beans (Pinto, Northern White, or Navy) (15oz)
🔹️ ½ cup melted butter (room temp)
🔹️1 can Evaporated milk (12oz)
🔹️2 Cups Brown Sugar (Dark & Light or mix)
🔹️1½ tsp Cinnamon
🔹️½ tsp Nutmeg
🔹️2 large eggs
🔹️2 tbsp All-purpose Flour
🔹️2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
🔹️ 1 tsp All-Spice (opt)
🔹️ 1 tsp Creme Bouquet (opt)
Note: Cold ingredients should be room temperature.
Pie Filling:
Use a blender or food processor. Blend the rinsed & drained beans, milk, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, flour & vanilla.
Directions:
▪️Make the crust from scratch or make sure frozen crust is thawed out.
▪️Heat the oven on 375° or 400°.
▪️Poke holes into the crust and cover the edges with foil or special cooking gadget. Bake for 10 mins.
▪️Once done, set the oven to 450°.
▪️Pour filling into the crust & bake for 15 mins. ▪️Set the oven to 350° and bake for an additional 35 mins.
Let set for an hour (not like I did) before cutting. Flavor & texture is best when set overnight. Enjoy!
