A Kentucky favorite pie filled with pecans, chocolate chips and a brown sugar base. Add a homemade sourdough pie crust and you have the most delicious, "fastest two minutes in sports" pie. It is a Kentucky favorite!
Roll out pie crust into a 9 inch pie dish and set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, use a spoon to mix together the butter, eggs, vanilla extract and brown sugar together until thick and creamy.
Add the flour and salt. Mix together to combine. If using Bourbon, add a splash to the mixture.
Add chopped pecans and chocolate chips to the mixture and stir to combine. Pour into the pie crust.
Bake for about 50-60 minutes until done. It will be a little jiggly but no big wobbles. Allow to cool before slicing. Enjoy!
