bean pie

Use a prepared crust or make your own to cover an 8-9 inch pie plate. Preheat oven @ 350 degrees. Make sure all ingredients are room temperature. It makes for better evenly cooked pie. As your pie reaches its maximum cooking time, a brown crust will start to form. Do not worry. This is what you want! If it appears to be browning unevenly, simply turn it gently or rotate your baking sheet.
