Southern Belle Bars image

I should clean out my "junk" drawer more often because I've discovered some long lost favorite recipes and this is one of them. I think it came from a Land O Lakes pamphlet that I got from the grocery store years ago. These are sometimes called Pecan Pie Bars.

  • Combine all filling ingredients EXCEPT pecans in a small bowl; mix well. Stir in pecans. Spread evenly over hot, partially baked crust. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until filling appears set and knife inserted 1-inch from edge comes out clean. Cool; cut into bars.
