How to Make Sheila's Pecan Pie

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a baking sheet on the oven rack.
In a medium mixing bowl, lightly beat 2 large eggs with a whisk.
Stir in 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk, 1 cup light corn syrup, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Gently fold in 2 cups pecan halves and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
Carefully place the pie on the preheated baking sheet. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is set (it will jiggle slightly). A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
