My family loves this recipe. I normally double it and freeze the second batch for a quick dinner later. DH doesn't care for all that sausage, so I normally substitute half ground beef and half sausage cooked together.

I've had a recipe similar to this for years. Thanks to the amazing Uncle Ben's Long Grain and Wild Rice Fast cook box - this takes next to no time to throw together for dinner. My family are big on the green beans - so to combat the 'too creamy' complaint, instead of cutting back on the mayo - we throw in an additional can of green beans and omit the pimentos. We also saute the onions with some fresh mushrooms until the onions are clear through. Always a hit in our house.

I used a shortbread crust and cut the cooking time down to about 45 minutes. When I put the pecans in, I put 3/4 cup of them in the mix, then spread another half cup or so over the top. Then, I added a handful of Hershey's milk chocolate chips to the top of the pie. Everyone loved it and have repeatedly requested the recipe. I have to make it for our Christmas potluck at work.
