Game Day Grub: Bourbon Pecan Pie

Since the Gators are playing LSU, we're posting a recipe that calls for bourbon...well, sort of.

Filling
3 eggs
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tbsps flour
1 cup dark corn syrup
2 tbsps butter/margarine melted
1 1/2 cup pecan halves

Topping
3/4 cup whipping cream
2 tbsps brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Directions
Pre-heat oven to 325.
Mix all filling ingredients, except pecans, and beat until smooth.  Stir in pecans.
Line bottom of crust shell with a layer of pecans.  Pour into crust-lined pie plate.
Bake 15 minutes.  Cover top of crust with foil to prevent excessive browning.  Bake 40-45 mins more or until filling is set and center of pie is golden brown.  Let pie completely cool. 

Topping Directions
Beat topping ingredients in a chilled mixing bowl.  Mix at high speed until soft peaks form.
(Or pie some whipped topping at the store.)
