Glad to see this recipe online it is a old one. My aunt who lived in KY used to make this pie, you would be surprised it tastes and looks like a pecan pie. I have made this recipe many times.

Excellent. Only made 2 9" Pies, not 3, just like a pecan pie, but not as rich and sweet. Loved it

I just love making this pie. I don't tell them what it really until I hear them say it's good. Then they are shocked when I tell them it's a Pinto Bean Pie and not Pecan. Surprise!!
