Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 scallions, white and green parts separated and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 cans (15 ounces each) pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, in juice
1 package (16 ounces) plain prepared polenta, patted dry
1 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped, plus more for garnish (optional)
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1 1/2 cups coarsely shredded pepper Jack cheese (6 ounces)
Salsa (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium; add white part of scallions and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until softened, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Add beans, tomatoes with juice, and 1/2 cup water. As you bring to a boil, mash about 1/4 of the beans with the back of a spoon against side of pan to release starch. Reduce to a simmer; cook until mixture has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, brush eight 10- to 12-ounce ramekins or custard cups with remaining oil. Slice polenta crosswise into 8 rounds; place 1 round in each ramekin.
  • Remove bean mixture from heat. Stir in green part of scallions, cilantro, and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper. Spoon bean mixture into ramekins; top each with cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. If desired, garnish with cilantro, and serve with salsa.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. I would not recommend it to anyone.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie didn't turn out anything like the picture. It was more like a bean soup than a pie.

This recipe was a total flop. The filling was bland, and the cornbread crust was soggy. I won't be making this again.

The filling was great, but the cornbread crust was a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try making it with a traditional pie crust next time.

This pie was a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I'll probably make it again with less chili powder next time.

I'm not a big fan of beans, but this pie was amazing! The flavors were so well-balanced, and the cornbread crust was the perfect complement.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the pie turned out perfectly. It was so good that I ate two pieces in one sitting!

Delicious! I added a bit of extra spice to the filling, and it was perfect.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! I used canned beans to save time, and the cornbread crust was a nice change from a traditional pie crust.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The beans are creamy and flavorful, and the cornbread crust is crispy and golden brown.

This Red and Black Bean Pie was a hit with my family! The combination of beans, spices, and cheese was delicious, and the cornbread crust was the perfect finishing touch.
