Holy cow! This is by far the absolute best pumpkin pie recipe I've ever made! I made one for my coworkers and they were highly impressed by it, as was I. It was super easy (in my opinion, its easier than following the Libby's recipe on the can); adding the vanilla and brown sugar most definately makes this my all-time favorite! I'll be using it forever!! Thank you!!
