What makes this recipe special?
I gained the recipe from my church's cookbook and have used it many years.
Additional notes:
If you create your own pie shell, remember to treat pan with non-stick spray prior to use to avoid sticking. Also, if you desire a low-carb recipe, you can omit the pie shell. For this version, treat the pan with non-stick spray, and decrease the cook time to 30 minutes. Check every 5 minutes until done.
