Thank you Paula for an easy but absolutely delicious recipe. I was dying for this and all the other recipe's seemed a little much. I think next time I might even try soaking the pecans in that bourbon a little to see if that makes a difference. Simplest is usually the best. I LOVED it!

Great flavor. Not super sweet. I used a graham cracker crust and that didn't work so well because the soupy filling saturated it. Next time, I will make a pie crust myself. The quality of the bourbon is very important as this flavor will be very obvious in the finished product. Next time, I will crumble the pecans because the large chunks make it hard to cut the pie at the end. I will definitely make this again.

Paula, I made this pie for the first time Thanksgiving. It is now my husbands favorite Pecan pie. Got rave reviews from the rest of the family also. Very easy! I did not change anything as far as ingredients, did have to bake approx 10 minutes longer. After setting overnight the cinsistancy was perfect. Am making another today and will deffinately be making again!!!! Thank you!

Great pie. I use pillsbury ready piecrust put it in my pie pan as is. mixed all the pie mixutre in a bowl and pored it in the pan and baked it just how Paula said and the pie came out perfect. Really don't understand the bad comments you must when baking preheated your oven and you wont have to add more baking time. Great job Paula

I just made this recipe (well, a bit of a hybrid and I think the solution to those who had problems may be in the mix. (literally!
I heated my syrup, sugar, nuts and let cool. Added remaining ingredients, then, I beat the heck out of my eggs and added them to my mix. I immediately added to my pie crust and baked. It started to rise before I turned down the temperature to 350. I sure hope it tastes as good as it looks and smells. PS - I added 1/4 cup maple syrup and used Nick Malgieri's sweet dough recipe for the crust, and YES, I did let it bake a little longer!.

This is the best pecan pie ever. Yes, you have to bake it a little longer than the recipe states. I always make 1 1/2 times the recipe because I use a lg pie dish and we like a thick pie. Stick a butter knife half way between the center and edge. If it comes out clean, your pie is done. Don't let the naysayers stop you from making this pie, it's wonderful...

Couldn't agree more with last post! This pie, if you follow the directions to the T, is terrible. Lesson learned: always read the reviews first!

Horrible! Pie would not stand up even though I cooked it longer than stated. Did Paula Deen even try this recipe before posting it? Would not put my name on this pie.

I cooked the pie around 15 minutes longer than the recipe, and it was a little runny the first night (good thing I made it ahead... thanks reviewers : The flavor was perfect! The pie was enjoyed by people who love bourbon and by people who don't usually care for it.
