Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 packages instant lemon pudding mix (3.4 ounces each)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 8 ounces whipped topping
  • Optional: finely chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, flour, granulated sugar, and chopped pecans until well mixed. Press into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
