Mock Pecan Pie

Idaho's Pinto Bean Pie

· 1 heaping cup mashed pinto beans (Note: 1 1/2 cups cooked beans equals about 1 cup, mashed)

· 1/2 cup sugar

· 1 cup brown sugar

· 1/2 cup butter

· 2 eggs, beaten

· 1 9-inch unbaked pie shell

Blend sugars, eggs, and butter until creamy. Add the mashed beans and blend thoroughly.
