Chocolate Chess Pie

Note:   I originally posted this recipe last Thanksgiving, but now that my house is filled with the smell of these pies I decided to post it again.     Little Guy is busy making these pies for us.    All I can say is yummmmmmmm...

Chocolate Chess Pie

Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. sugar

3 T. unsweetened cocoa powder

2 eggs

1 (5 oz.) can evaporated milk

1/4 c. melted butter (1/2 stick)

1 t. vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix sugar and cocoa together. Beat the eggs then add the cocoa mixture. Beat in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla.Pour mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie shell (I use Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts) and bake for 45 minutes or until set. (I recommend covering the pie's edges with foil or a pie guard after the first 20 minutes, or when edges attain a good brown color... so they don't burn.) Let cool before slicing.
