Happy Thanksgiving!

I signed up for dessert for Friendsgiving so I opted to make pumpkin pie, which I've never done before. Can I say it was super easy?

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 can (15 oz.) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
• 1 ¼ cups evaporated milk (or half and half)
• 2 eggs (beaten)
• 1 frozen deep-dish pie crust

Step 1

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• In large bowl, mix filling ingredients.
• Pour into pie crust.

Step 2

• Bake 15 minutes.
• Reduce oven temperature to 350°F; bake 40 to 50 minutes longer or until knife inserted near center comes out clean.
• Cool 2 hours.
• Serve or refrigerate until serving time. Store in refrigerator.
