Anyone have experience freezing Bean Pie aka Muslim Bean Pie, aka Shabazz
Bean Pie? I am planning to make bean pie over the weekend; the recipe I
have is for two pies; if it is known not to freeze well I can cut the recipe
in half; but, if it freezes well I'd like to put one away for another time.

For those unfamiliar, think pumpkin or sweet potato pie using navy beans
instead.

well, pumpkin pie freezes well, as I recall.

If you are timid, just make one pie, save and freeze one piece, and see what
happens.

my refried beans and cowboy beans freeze very well. I would certainly
try it.

Wouldn't muslim bean pies be like cow pies... muslims eat lots of
beans and dump out pies... then wait for them to dry in the hot sun.

Never heard of those. Do you have a recipe? I'm interested.
Anyway, make one and freeze one raw. It works with pumpkin/sp pies.

It's interesting. Sorry, I have no recipe; have never heard of it
before. Add sugar and vanilla? So this is supposed to be a sweet bean
pie? I can't imagine it, sorry.

Note: They tell you "Mrs. Smith's brand pie crust is a good one to use." :)

Beans in a regular pie crust simply doesn't compute with me. Maybe if
it was savoury, in sort of a cornmeal crust. Like a vegetarian "tamale"
pie made with beans.

But blenderized beans, with (among other things) added sugar, cinnamon,
*nutmeg* and vanilla mixed together into a pie crust... I cannot imagine
it. Sorry.

Thank you for that. I did see a recipe for it that called for way less
sugar (3/4 cup). I would like to try this soon. Sounds like it taste
very similar to pumpkin pie or sweet potato pie. The ingredients are
about the same.

Imagine a sweet potato or pumpkin pie, it is similar; but, some think it is
even better. 8-)

I love pumpkin pie. I love sweet potatoes, but not sweet potato pie.
I love beans... not making them into a pie, but I wouldn't turn down a
chance to taste it sometime and decide if it would be worth the effort
or not. Wish I'd tasted sweet potato pie before I made it, because I
wouldn't have bothered if I had.

It may well be, l! Except I don't like sweet potato or pumpkin pie,
either. 8-)

I'm going to try it. It uses the same spices as pumpkin or sweet
potato pies and probably tastes about the same (my guess).

I made this recipe today and thought I'd pass along an experience. The
recipe says "makes 2 pies"; I believe it should have said "makes 2
deep-dish pies". After filling the pie shells, there was quite a bit left
over; so, I filled a third one. The third is a little less full than the
other two; had I known at the outset, I would have either used deep-dish or
would have made three regular pies with the same amount of filling in each.

My son is a fan of bean pie and is the reason I made this; I will serve it
tonight with our Sunday-night family meal. I did taste a little bit of pie
number 3 and it was very good; but, VERY sweet. Similar taste but not as
dense as most pumpkin or sweet potato pies I've had.

Thanks for the update. I have been curious.
