O'charley's Caramel Pie

FYI: I heeded people's warnings about making the caramel the safe way by going to the EagleBrand website and I just WASTED 2 hours of my life trying to make caramel via the oven. DO NOT do it that way! It did not turn out at all and I even left it in there for longer than the directions said. Stick to the old-fashioned way of doing it--boil that bad boy for three hours. It always turns out that way.

I made this a few years ago, but never reviewed it. This is delicious, and very close to the pie at O'Charley's. Highly recommended if you like that pie. In the restaurant, it is sprinkled with chopped nuts and chocolate chips.

This is a true caramel lover's dessert! RICH and delicious! I used the fat free condensed milk and it worked fine. Made homemade graham cracker crust. Because I knew this pie would be sweet, I didn't add any sugar to the crust. I added some pecans on the top (about 1/4 c.), they complemented the sweet so well that next time will add more. I used the MICROWAVE to make the caramel and followed these DIRECTIONS: Pour 1 can sweetened condensed milk into a 2 qt. glass measure (use a bigger glass if doing 2 cans at a time OR WATCH CLOSELY - it may boil over; stirring frequently will help avoid this). Cook on medium (50% power) for 4 mins., stirring briskly every 2 mins until smooth. Cook on med-low (30% power) 18 - 25 mins. or until very thick and caramel colored, stirring briskly every two minutes until smooth.
