One Bowl Brownies

This recipe is from Judy Harrison. She made it when I visited last Friday. Not only was the whole dinner awesome (roast beef, sweet potatoes, asparagus!) but the brownies were amaaaazing. Deliciously fudgey. :) And not from a mix. Imagine that! Enjoy!

3/4 Cup or 1 1/2 sticks of butter or margarine

2 Cups of sugar

3 Eggs

1 tsp Vanilla

1 Cup of flour

1 Cup coarsely chopped Pecans or Walnuts (optional)
