BEEF AND BEAN PIE



Beef and Bean Pie image

We made this all the time when I was growing up. It originally came from the Pillsbury bake off book from the 1970's I think. We lost it for several years and I emailed the company and they sent it to me. It was one of my brother's favorite meals and when he came back from serving the Army in Iraq, we fixed it for him as a surprise. We never used the Pillsbury refrigerated crescent rolls like the recipe called for but would put it in a pie crust. Also, we left off the American cheese.

Tips:

  • To ensure a flaky crust, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Avoid overworking the dough, as this can result in a tough crust.
  • For a sweeter pie, use a combination of white and brown sugar. Brown sugar adds a richer molasses flavor.
  • Be sure to drain the beans well before adding them to the pie filling. This will help prevent the pie from becoming watery.
  • To prevent the beans from sinking to the bottom of the pie, sprinkle a layer of flour or cornstarch on the bottom crust before adding the filling.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes to set the crust, then reduce the temperature to prevent the crust from burning.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from running out.

Conclusion:

Double-crust bean pie is a delicious and satisfying dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a flaky crust and a creamy, flavorful filling, this pie is sure to be a hit. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, this recipe is easy to follow and will produce a delicious pie that everyone will enjoy.
