PUMPKIN PIE
(Makes one 9-inch pie)

1 (9-inch) unbaked pastry shell
1 (16 ounce) can pumpkin (about 2 cups)
1 (14-ounce) can Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (Not evaporated milk)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 425*. In large mixer bowl, combine all ingredients, mix well. Pour into prepared pastrt shell. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350*; continue baking 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Cool.
 
The sweetened condensed milk was my Mom's secret to her pumpkin pie.
I double the recipe and go with 1 can of that and 1 can of evaporated milk to cut back a bit on the sweet. I also add a little extra pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon.
 
I use that recipe, BUT I USE FRESH "PIE PUMPKIN" that is the secret to really good pumpkin pie.

I know, I know, it's a pain to use fresh pumpkin, but it really makes a difference.

Does using the sweetened condensed milk make the pie more or less sweet then using evaporated milk?

Thanks for the recipe Joe! I will have to try it since I am in charge of making pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving.

I'm not much of a cook but that sounds so easy even I might give it a try! I could really blow my fiance away if I made a pie! Thanks

I think that's the same recipe my mom uses for our thanksgiving pumpkin pie. I love it sooo much. I could eat the whole thing myself.
 
Pumpkin pie is great for breakfast! And with a dollop of homemade whipped cream.....why not?
