Vanilla Pecan Pie Recipe

I’ve got one more great pie recipe for your Thanksgiving table. Vanilla Pecan Pie!

This delicious recipe from McCormick blends the flavors of both pecan pie and cheesecake. Sounds good right? It is!

This pie is pretty simple to make. You start with your pie shell, and fill it with a simple cheesecake layer.

After baking this for a while, you add your pecans and filling and send it back into the oven to finish baking.

Pecan pie has always seemed a bit intimidating to me, but it’s really super easy – even with some cheesecake thrown in the mix!

Okay, I know you are busy getting ready for Thanksgiving, so here’s the recipe for you…
