Pecan Pie

I got this recipe from the Pioneer Woman's website and it is awesome. Dan loves pecan pie and he said this was the best he ever had. It was the first one I had ever made and it was super easy.
1 unbaked pie crust
1 C white sugar
2 T brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 C corn syrup
1/3 C melted butter (regular, salted)
3 eggs, beaten
1/4 tsp vanilla
1 heaping cup chopped pecans
Directions: First make (or get out a frozen one like I did) a pie crust. Next mix sugar, brown sugar, salt, corn syrup, butter, eggs and vanilla together in a bowl.
Pour chopped pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Pour syrup mixture over the top of the pecans. Then watch as the pecans rise to the top, so cool. Then bake pie at 350 for 50-60 minutes, being careful not to burn pecans and crust. Allow to cool for several hours or overnight.
