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.
