Miz Eller's Pinto Bean Pie
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
1 stick margarine
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup cooked pinto beans, mashed
pinch of salt
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 pie shell
"Beat eggs, sugar, and margarine together; add vanilla, salt, beans, coconut, and pecans. Put in uncooked pie shell. Bake at 350 until done."
Keri's notes to Miz Eller's recipe - also good with half white and half brown sugar. She says to bake until done - I've found that "done" happens after about 35 minutes at 350, when you can stick a knife in the middle and it comes out clean. About 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg is good in this. I usually use real butter as opposed to margarine. Good served warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
