Poor Man's Pecan Pie image

THIS IS a recipe my mother-in-law shared with me several years ago. It's easy to make, and most of the ingredients are in everybody's cupboard. And it does really taste like pecan pie. We have it quite often, but it's tradition to have this pie on the menu during the holidays. -Fay Harrington, Seneca, Missouri

I'm not a big fan of pecan pie, but this one was pretty good. The filling was sweet and gooey, and the crust was flaky and buttery.

This pie was a bit too sweet for me, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a deeper pie plate next time.
