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 followed the recipe exactly and my pie turned out great. It was a little too sweet for my taste, so I might reduce the amount of sugar next time.
