I made this and my family loved it. I thought it needed to be a little sweeter but everyone else said it was fine just like it was

This is a great recipe, especially if you are pastry challenged or just don't bake often. I use a couple of recipes similar to this one but I think this one is the easiest of them.

I made this for Thanksgiving, and everyone loved it! The only problem I had was that it was very runny. I had leftovers in the fridge and it kept running into the empty part of the pan.
