Everything pumpkin... and bacon!

My kid have this thing for Bacon... and Pumpkin (seems they have like for things before they become a trend).

While surfing the internet, I found a recipe for a pumpkin pie with a bacon crust...
If you try it let us know how it turns out! We already have too many pies scheduled for Thanksgiving...



Ingredients:

1 12 oz pack of bacon
2 cups fresh pumpkin puree or 1 can
3 eggs
1/4 cup walnut butter (or any nut butter or cheese if you choose to eat it, or leave it out completely, whatever)
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp anise seed

(or you can substitute canned pumpkin pie filling)

Line pie plate with bacon. Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and drain off excess bacon grease.

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs. Add all the other ingredients. beat together then put in pie crust or just put the canned pie filling in.

Place extra bacon on the top... why, because more bacon is better!

Bake at 400 for approximately 45 minutes, then broil until bacon on top is crispy (for 5-10 mins).
Let cool a bit then drain extra bacon grease.

Enjoy.
