1 c. evaporated milk
1 c. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 (18.25-ounce) pkg. butter-flavored yellow cake mix
1 c. chopped pecans
1 c. butter (or margarine, melted)

Stir together first 5 ingredients and pour into greased 13x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle cake mix over pumpkin mixture, then sprinkle pecans on top. Drizzle butter over pecans and bake at 350 degrees for 60-65 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, let stand 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with Whipped Cream, if desired. Sprinkle with nutmeg, if desired.
Whipped Cream...

I make these a lot in the fall. I don't use pumpkin pie spice, I use the individual spices instead, and I use dark choc. chunks from Ghiradelli. I bake it in a convection oven, so it cooks quicker, so not sure about the regular baking times.

Glad you started this thread. We love pumpkin.

Not a recipe, but I always put pumpkin in our pancakes. I make a big batch and keep them in ziplock bags in the freezer and that's what my kids eat most mornings for breakfast-- just grab two or three and pop them in the microwave. In addition to the pumpkin I add some nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Here's a pumpkin pasta sauce I've made once or twice. It's a Rachael Ray recipe. It goes well with whole wheat pasta:
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
3 shallots, finely chopped (I just used a yellow or red onion)
3-4 cloves garlic, grated
2 cups chicken stock
1 can pumpkin puree (15 ounces)
1/2 cup cream (I just used milk)
2 pinches of cinnamon
1 teaspoon hot sauce, to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
7-8 leaves fresh sage, thinly sliced
Grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, to taste

Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake

Ingredients
Cake:
1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 egg
8 tablespoons butter, melted
Filling:
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 tablespoons butter, melted
1 (16-ounce) box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the cake mix, egg, and butter and mix well with an electric mixer. Pat the mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 by 9-inch baking pan.

To make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and pumpkin until smooth. Add the eggs, vanilla, and butter, and beat together. Next, add the powdered sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mix well. Spread pumpkin mixture over cake batter and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure not to overbake as the center should be a little gooey.

Serve with fresh whipped cream.

Paula Deen's Pumpkin Gooey Butter Cake

a I make this every year. It's AAAmazing and sooo easy to make and clean up after. You don't even have to clean out the mixing bowl in between making the bottom and filling. Everyone loves it. Yellow cake on the bottom as crust and pumpkin pie filling on top. What's not to love??

They are fantastic! We started making pumpkin pancakes a few years ago and that is the only kind of pancakes we make now.

Turtle Pumpkin Pie

1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. caramel ice cream topping, divided (splurge on a really good brand - trust me, it makes it really worth it!)
1 graham cracker pie crust
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp pecan pieces, divided
1 cup cold milk
2 pkg. (2.4 oz each) vanilla instant pudding
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed, divided

Pout 1/4 cup caramel topping into crust; sprinkle with 1/2 cup pecans. Beat milk, pudding mixes, pumpkin and spices with whisk until blended. Stir in 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip. Spread into crust. Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Top with remaining Cool Whip, caramel topping and pecans just before serving. Makes 10 servings.

We call this the Larrylicious Pumpkin Turtle Pie since my husband makes it for us all.

I always make this weight watchers recipe.....

Those same two ingredients can also make cookies.

Here's the recipe, which is also archived on this great thread, Cookies from cake mixes! Also: BISCOTTI and Cookie BARS

It is a sticky thread, over on the COOKING Board. (Yes, the DIS has a Cooking board. )


Here is a really simple pumpkin cookie with only 2 ingredients. (No need to add the oil & eggs listed on the cake mix box.) Fellow DISer, Crystal0608 posted her review of the cookie, which is copied & pasted below.


I'd add some dried cranberries & walnuts or white chocolate chips to the two ingredients below. Maybe top with a cream cheese frosting.

Pumpkin Spice Cookie

1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix
1 (15 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix and pumpkin until well blended. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Crystal0608's Review:

I made the 2 ingredient pumpkin cookies last night that were posted and they were awesome! I mixed one box of the spice cake mix & the pumpkin puree in my kitchenaid mixer & added a handful of chopped pecans & dried cranberries. I sprayed the pans down really good with bakers joy & when they are almost done cooking I took them out of the oven, b/c they poof up, so I smushed them flat with my hand then cooked some more. They don't brown on top, so I had to watch them (I'm a cookie burner). I made 4 cookie sheets, could've done 5 since my 1st batch were huge. They are very fluffy and cake like right out of the oven, but after sitting overnight they got dense, moist, & more "pumpkiny". My super picky non-fruit eating dd gobbled these up, just told her they had fruit in them . Loved them!

A little FYI: Pumpkin puree - one cup: Vitamin A: 310% of RDA, Vitamin C: 20% of RDA, Potassium: 588 milligrams

These recipes all look delicious. Thanks so much for posting them everyone! I sent them to the printer.

I love the idea of making a pasta sauce with it, that recipe sounds delicious. I'm definitely making those pancakes too.

Really great ideas! Thanks again.
