My mom has perfected the pecan pie

3/4 cup white karo
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup pecan pieces or halves
4 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350F.
Beat together: eggs, sugar, karo, butter vanilla, and pecans. Pour into pre-made crust (we used store bought and it worked just fine). Bake at least 1 hour. Let sit two hours before slicing.

Icing, Icing, Icing!
