1/2-3/4 stick butter
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. dark Karo syrup
3-4 eggs
Dash salt
1 tsp. vanilla
Big bag pecans, some chopped fine, some halved for top
2 deep dish pie shells

Soften butter and cream. Add sugar, syrup and eggs, one at a time. Add salt, vanilla and chopped pecans. Pour into pie shells. Place larger pecan pieces on top. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake until firm (about 35 or more minutes). Be sure to beat well before pouring into shells.
