A bean pie is a sweet custard pie whose filling consists of mashed beans—usually navy beans—sugar, butter, milk, and spices. Bean Pies are commonly associated with soul food cuisine. Additionally, they are associated with the Nation of Islam : its leader, Elijah Muhammad, encouraged their consumption in lieu of richer foods associated with African American cuisine, and the followers of his community commonly sell bean pies as part of their fund-raising efforts.
Ingredients:
Beans, eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, butter, milk and flavorings.

The pie tasted more of beans than spices or custard. I was looking for some close the NOI bean pies. This was not that. I was not pleased with the flavors.
