Pecan Pie Bars

I got this recipe from a friend.  So good!  I did add a little cinnamon and you can add a little flaky salt if you'd like (not table salt LOL). I would share the original recipe that was sent to me but there's 10K pop ups before you can get to the recipe and more when I tried to print it (SO ANNOYING!). I made these in my gram's lasagna pan.  I am sure she made other things in the pan but I don't ever recall it.

Enjoy!
