I like to try new and different things so when I saw this I had to try it. I don’t bake well and don’t do a lot of desserts but being a bean lover I had to make this.
This is an easy pie to make and if you use a store bought crust like I did it’s that much easier; almost a no brainer!
Our son had to go to Columbus on business so dropped the grandson off here after school. When his Mom got here they all ordered fish from Capt. D’s. I had a left over brat and some slaw.
We all had a piece of the pie for dessert. We all liked it and I loved it! If you didn’t know there were beans in it you would never know it. To me the taste and texture is between a pumpkin and a sweet potato pie. I will be making this again.
When we were all done I looked over and there on my wife’s plate was all the crust! She hardly ever eats the crust; I may as well just buy some pie filling or make it and serve in a bowl for her!
All but the eggs

Recipe
A navy bean pie
Make your favorite pie crust for a 9” pie or do as I did and use a store bought crust.
Filling
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup canned navy beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup sugar
4 tbsp. unsalted butter
1½ tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
3 eggs
Lay out your crust in a 9” pie pan and if needed trim so you have about a half inch excess around the edge.
Mix all the above ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour it into your pie shell, fold over the excess crust and make fancy little flutes. If you don’t do that well like me just fold it over and call it a rustic pie. Pour the filling in the shell bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 deg. for about an hour. Mine was done in 55 minutes.
My crust edge was a little too brown so you may want to cover the edge with some aluminum foil before baking.

Interesting! Very interesting!! I don't think I would have ever given any thought to a "bean pie". I'll have to give this one a try. Bookmarked!!

I may try this for Thanksgiving and not tell anyone it isn't pumpkin. It'll be a fun experiment and a great dessert whether they figure it out or not ::)

Now that is something different. Now you need to make one with English peas for all the pea lovers on here.

My wife was raised in the four corners area of the great Southwest--pinto bean country. In fact, her dad was a pinto bean farmer. People there (and from there) use pinto beans for EVERYTHING, including pie. The recipe in the "Pinto Bean Cookbook" published by the bean co-op up there is pretty tasty. Course, give me a coconut cream or pecan ANYDAY. One or both of those beat any others!

Ken that Is a horrible idea! Bad Ken! Bad Ken! ??? :P
Don that is really interesting. Just looking at the picture I would never guess you used beans!

Don,
I grew up in North Dakota - we ate pumpkin pie. Then I moved to Des Moines and tasted sweet potato pie and it was eye opening. For those who don't know - the folks living in Des Moines consider themselves in the south - I loved it.
Now you throw this one at me... well I just have to try it. I am going back to ND to see my dad and brothers for Thanksgiving. I am printing this recipe and going to spring it on them. Should be a blast! Thank you!
And Ken, I am with you on the English pea pie - let's come up with something.. :)
Best to all,
D

I think I will do one just to freak Muebe out. I don't think I would eat it though.

Sorry muebe :( the one that looks worth trying Ken is an English pork pie that has mashed peas on top all baked in a ramekin encrusted with pie crust. Sometime after the holidays I would like to try one. If you see the post muebe and others don't look! ::) Don

There is a trailer / food truck in Sydney Australia down on the waterfront. Food trucks were banned, but this one was grandfathered in many years ago - called Harry's Pie de Wheels (or close to that). They make a beef or pork hand pie with smashed peas on top. Absolutely delicious! But, don't wear a tie or a white shirt - they will be ruined!
One of my favorite places in the world. Someday I will make one for Pappy!
