Pumpkin Dessert


So, you think making Pumpkin Pie is too complicated, but you want to make a pumpkin dessert that is delicious and easy to make. I begged for this recipe from a friend of mine -- and she was willing to share. Thank you Sharon.

It comes together much like a "Dump Cake". (For those of you not familiar with that, it is quite easy to make and even easier to eat)

Pumpkin Dessert
Serves 8-10

1 (29 oz) can Pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
3 large eggs
4 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 box Yellow Cake Mix (French Vanilla Cake Mix is also good)
3 sticks of Butter -- I didn't say it would be low fat!
1/2 cup chopped Pecans (or walnuts if you choose)

Combine: Pumpkin, sugar, evaporated milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Mix together.
Pour pumpkin mixture into a greased 9x13x2 inch baking pan.
Top with Yellow Cake Mix.
Melt the butter and pour over top of cake mix.
Sprinkle with Pecans.
Bake at 350 F for 45-50 minutes or until browned.

Enjoy. Great served warm with ice cream, or cool with whipped cream.
