Recipe - Pumpkin Crisp

1 cn (16 oz) pumpkin
1 cn (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 cup Sugar
One half teaspoon Cinnamon
3 Eggs
1 Box yellow cake mix
2 cup Pecans
1 cup Butter (melted and cooled)

FROSTING
8 ounce Cream cheese (softened)*
Three fourths cup Cool whip (or One half cup
softened butter)
1 One half cup Powdered sugar (sifted)

Line bottom and sides of a 9x13x2 cake pan with wax paper. You may want to
grease the pan with butter or oil before placing paper on to facilitate
removal of the wax paper after cooking. Mix pumpkin, milk, sugar,
cinnamon, and eggs with a mixer or by hand. Pour into the pan. Sprinkle
the cake mix over the liquid mixture and spread evenly. Pat nuts into the
cake mix and spoon the melted butter or margarine over the nuts and dry
mixture. Bake in a 325F preheated oven for 5055 minutes. Let cool
slightly before inverting on a tray. Let it cool completely before
frosting.

Frosting: Mix cream cheese and cool whip/butter with a mixer until fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar. Frost the top of the cake and store in
the refrigerator.

*Don't use nonfat cream cheese, It doesn't hold as well and the frosting
will run.
