Bourbon Pecan Pie
"This pie is really yummy and naughty. But perhaps one only for adults? Make one without the bourbon for the kids, or treat them all to ice cream instead."

The easiest and yummiest pie evah! My whole family loves this pie! Warning: It will overflow a regular pie crust. Use the deep dish variety or just use the left over filling to make a little pie for someone special :) -
This was very tasty. I have never had pecan pie before, so I didn't know to expect it to be very sweet. My husband (who is from the south) said it was like when he was a kid :) I really loved the aroma when it was baking. I baked it for about 10 more minutes than listed, and it was still a little runny, so next time I will bake longer. It could be b/c I added the full 2TBSP of bourbon ;)
