Mystery Pecan Pie
OK, so I know there are several similar pie recipes on this site and I haven't tried any of them, but this one is soooooo good. It's from the Southern Living Cookbook. I make it every Thanksgiving and people beg me for the recipe. I'm not a dessert person, but this pie combines my only 2 weaknesses--pecan pie and cheesecake. It's like heaven on earth!
