If you love pumpkin pie or sweet potato pie, then you will be a fan of bean pie too. This pie, which relies largely on pantry ingredients, has a lovely custard filling consisting of drained canned navy beans, sweetened condensed milk, and brown sugar. This pie, which is popular in the African American Muslim community, is a wonderful way to use up extra canned beans—and to add a little more protein to your desserts.
