Need a Derby-ish pie for watching the Kentucky Derby??
This chocolate chip pecan pie might just be my favorite pie ever. It tastes almost identical to the famous Derby Pie of Louisville, Ky.My brother-in-law makes it every Thanksgiving, and if it were up to me I’d bypass the turkey and dressing completely, and gobble down this fabulous pie first (in fact, I've been known to do that a time or two!)
The recipe comes from Patti’s Restaurant in Western Kentucky (also home to the famous Boo-Boo Pie, and the largest Pork Chops you’ve ever seen), so you know it’s gotta be good. In fact, it's my go-to pie to make this time of year 🙂
Here's the recipe . . . enjoy!!
