Got this recipe from my sister-in-law a few years ago.  It's fast and tastes wonderful.  I make some whipped cream to go on top that's flavored with grade A amber maple syrup.  The maple, pecans, and pumpkin really complement each other.

Upside down Pumpkin Pie

1 29oz can of solid pack pumpkin

1 ¼ C. Sugar

2 t. Cinnamon

½ t. Ginger

1 t. Nutmeg

1 12oz can of evaporated milk

3 eggs – well beaten

Mix together well and pour into a 13X9” greased baking pan.

1 box yellow cake mix

1 C. Pecans

1 C. Melted Butter

Sprinkle dry yellow cake mix on top of pumpkin mixture.  Sprinkle top with nuts and melted butter.  Bake at 350 deg. for 1 hour.
 
I think I need to try this one, after my daughter-in-law goes home from Thanksgiving.  She is very alergic to pecans.  This way of making pumpkin pie will avoid the dry crust that I dislike anyway.  Thanks for sharing.

This thing sounds good but I would really like to see it too.
 
Hi Porkaholic - you can substitute just about any nut.  I've even experimented with ground almonds and substituted 1/4 C of Amaretto for 1/4 C of the evaporated milk.  It was outstanding. 

The recipe is fast and extremely easy.  I made this several times and people always ask for the recipe.
 
Saw this recipe the two days before thanksgiving and have to say it was a very good dessert. The wife does not like pumpkin pie and had 2 pieces of this. I took pics and will post them up later so people can see what ours turned out like.

Thanks for the great recipe.

Really easy and was delicious. Will be making this again for Christmas.
 
just made a batch after reading this thread and man this stuff is good! instead of the cake mix i used butter, flout, sugar, walnuts and cinn. to make a crispy topping..........might have to try the cake next time!
 
Sounds great.  Copied and on the to do list.  Maybe this weekend if I can talk the wife into it!
