Top with the yellow cake mix and a cup of chopped pecans. Cover with a cup of butter (either drizzle melted butter or cut lots of pats of butter and evenly distribute them over top). Then bake for 40-45 minutes at 350 degrees.<BR/><BR/>The version that my mom makes is below><BR/><BR/>Pumpkin Landfill Dessert<BR/><BR/>Combine the following ingredients.<BR/>-4 eggs<BR/>-1 1/2 cup of sugar<BR/>-1 tsp salt<BR/>-2 tsp cinnamon<BR/>-1 tsp nutmeg<BR/>-1/2 tsp cloves<BR/>-2 cups of canned pumpkin<BR/>-12 oz. of Milnot (a type of canned milk)<BR/><BR/>Place this mixture in a 9x13 baking pan. <BR/>Top this with <BR/>-1 yellow cake mix<BR/>-1 cup chopped pecans<BR/><BR/>Drizzle 1 cup of melted butter or margarine over top of this.<BR/><BR/>Bake in a 350 degree oven for about an hour.<BR/><BR/>It is a very yummy recipe, one that reminds me of home. I think that my mom used to make it because we all liked pumpkin pie, but she got frustrated making pie crust. Unlike my husband, I actually like this topping better than a pie crust anyway.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy,<BR/>AndreaPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723001618788648358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488928351331326991.post-15433008175086150132007-12-09T21:26:00.000-06:002007-12-09T21:26:00.000-06:00Hey!

The funny thing is, in my family lore, this is landfill dessert. You see, my grandpa worked for BFI (the waste collection company in our community) as a garbage man, and dump was a nasty word. Instead, we had landfill (more pc) dessert. <BR/><BR/>It looks yummy, and we always serve ours with a dollop (or more if you are my sister) of Cool Whip on top. Of course, it is up to you whether or not you stir the tub of Cool Whip : )!<BR/><BR/>AndreaPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723001618788648358noreply@blogger.com
