Hello I sure hope you can help. I ate at Morrison's cafeteria so many times 
at 100 Oaks Mall Nashville TN. They had a really good carmel pecan pie . 
The chef gave me the recipe and I mis placed it when I moved. I know it 
had a can of eagle brand condensed milk and pecans and was baked in 
graham cracker crust. I have searched all sites and can't find it. It was 
so simple but so good. Do you remember this pie? 
Thanks Lisa 

Hi Lisa,

I don't remember this pie, but that's not surprising because I always got the egg custard pie at Morrison's.

I have an actual Morrison's kitchen manual from the  late 1950s or 1960s, but it does not have any sort of caramel pecan pie recipe. I have a great Morrison's contact, a former manager who has a much more recent edition of the kitchen manual, and the below recipe called "Morrison's Condensed Pecan Pie" was in it. This is the food service recipe and makes 7 pies. You will have to cut it down to make one pie. The recipe that you were given before may have been already cut down for home use by that chef.
