Mom always covered the top with pecans, this makes 2 pies so you can leave one pie with and one without pecans. Do the taste test. Cook for 15 minutes, then reduce temp. to 350 bake 40-50 minutes,  until knife test comes out clean.
Cool on wire rack for up to 2 hours eat, then refrigerate leftovers.

Personal Notes:
She always baked them for Thanksgiving and Christmas. A couple of years ago, she called and said "oops I forgot the sugar," so she went back and pulled them out half way through cooking and sprinkled sugar all over the tops. They weren't very good that year, but still eatable. She also said not to tell anybody, but we cough on ;)
