Pam's Pumpkin Pie

My best friend's mom makes a couple of these every year and now that I've moved away I prevailed up on her to share the recipe with me so I can have a taste of home away from home.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6
• Yields: 1 pie

Ingredients

• 2  eggs (beaten)
• 3⁄4 cup brown sugar
• 1 1⁄2 cups pumpkin
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1⁄2 cups evaporated milk
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ginger

Directions

1. Mix dry ingredients with the beaten eggs and evaporated milk.
2. Add pumpkin and mix well.
3. Fill a 9-inch unbaked pie shell and bake for 10 minutes at 450.
4. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
5. Pie is done when a silver knife inserted half way between center and edge comes out clean.
6. Note: If you buy a pre-made crust make sure it's a deep one or you'll wind up with left-over pumpkin mix.
