Delicious Pumpkin Pie

Preheat Nesco roaster oven to 350ºF.

another 10 minutes, or until crust begins to brown.
For the filling, beat cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add pumpkin and beat until
blended.
Stir in sugar and salt and mix until combined with pumpkin mixture. Add egg mixture, half-and-half, and
butter. Add vanilla, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix well.
Pour filling into warm pie crust. Place pie on rack in cook well inside roaster. Put cover on roaster and
bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set.
Remove and cool on rack. Cut into slices and top with a generous amount of whipped cream. Serves 8.
