15 oz can pumpkin (not pie mix)
12 oz can evaporated milk
3 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 t nutmeg
1/4 t cloves
1/4 t ginger
1 cup sugar
dash of salt
Mix and pour into 9x13 pan.
1 box yellow cake mix with pudding

Sprnkle cake mix over pumpkin, then pecans, then pour butter over.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.

THAT's the original recipe (for that unnamed source which I can not recall). Ok here are the changes I made:
I used real pumpkin that I had in the freezer. It made the batter a little thinner, but it still set, and it was great. I always swear I can tell the difference between canned pumpkin and real. In truth, who knows.....?
I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup, and I used raw sugar instead of refined white sugar. I use raw sugar or turbinado sugar whenever I can, and in a pumpkin recipe it was a no-brainer. Those two tastes are fabulously rich together.
I used walnuts instead of pecans. I like them better with pumpkin. Personal preference.
I reduced the amount of the butter to ONE HALF of a stick. It was PLENTY.
Enjoy, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I'm thankful for this blog.
