Oh my gosh, this is SO good! My six year old that is super picky and would normally never touch pumpkin pie loves it! I wanted to test it out before making it for Thanksgiving. I can't wait for my family to try it. I am no fan of pumpkin pie at all, but this this is amazing!

Great recipe, couldn't get the topping to work like it was supposed too. However that was my fault I'm just starting to make desserts at 35. The plus is this came out perfect even though I added too much evaporated milk. Definetly try as an alternative to pie.

Delicious! Just what I was looking for. Even those who don't like pumpkin liked it! Did use 1/2 cup sugar in topping and cut in cold butter, not soft. may try a little less butter in bottom next time??

Ive made this quite a few times and everyone loves it. But Im bothered how the cake mix on the bottom NEVER gets cooked? Its always still raw dough. Does anyone else have this problem, or is it suppose to be like that?

I LOVE this recipe! It is so easy and makes enough to feed a crowd. I like to make it using a spice cake mix.

Not the best, but pretty good. I think my family will stick to the traditional pumpkin pie.

I have been making this recipe since about 2001 and there is not a holiday meal that goes by that I am not asked to make it! It has been a hit with the kids and all the adults. Even the ones that swear they do not like pumpkin. This is one of my favorite recipes!

Just made this for a football party and everyone went crazy for it. I made something similar to it weeks ago - something from a box - and the store didn't have it anymore so I found this recipe. Everyone agreed this was WAAAAAAAY better than the box mix. I heard comments like, "This is like crack!" "I'm glad I didn't have this recipe when I was pregnant, I would have eaten the whole pan!" etc. I accidentally only bought 1/2 the pumpkin the recipe, but i made it anyway and put it in a 9x9 and it obviously turned out great. I might try to make this a little healthier next time - less butter and maybe splenda instead of suar??? and see if it's still just as good.

This was good, but I think I was aiming more for a cobbler, so I'll have to keep looking for recipes. Next time I might use one 14-oz can pumpkin instead of 2 as the layers seemed off (too much pumpkin). Also, since it said to serve it warm, the next time I might refrigerate it first, then warm it later. Pumpkin stayed very hot for a long time, even though the rest cooled off more quickly. A very rich dessert.

This was sooo yummy! Although, as my husband likes to say, it was "turn your head inside-out sweet."

I have made this recipe for the past 3 years (Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays) and my family loves it! It's also a big hit at work. I too feel that the topping could use some improvment. For the topping, I have added oatmeal and it does make it more like a "crisp." Also, the addition of a little flour (enhanced with pumpkin pie spice) stretches the mix to ensure that there is enough to cover the top. A must try for those who want a little something different for the holidays!

I got this recipe from a friend and I made it for my family. My children loved it they said it kind of tasted like sweet potatoe pie. We were not fans of pumpkin but this was delicious.

I have made this recipe often and it always a hit. I forgot about it this year and just made it again. As for the topping, I use hard butter and cut it into the mixture. It turns out much better and is more of a "crisp" topping, but not quite. This is a great fall recipe. I will be making lots of these to take to family and friends when invited!

It was OK. It wasn't fabulous, but it wasn't bad. And it wasn't a CRISP. I found the instructions to soften the butter in the crust odd, usually you would want cold butter to cut in. I didn't hate it, don't get my wrong. I ate it. But, I do think there are better pumpkin recipes out there.

I made this today using the exact recipe and did not see it's similarity to pumpkin pie. This was SO SO sweet! With pumpkin pie the crust is slightly salty and compliments the filling. In this recipe the crust on the bottom and the "crisp" top are so sugary from the cake mix. I would only recommend this if you like super sweet deserts. It's no rival for real pumpkin pie!

Quick, easy, and crowd pleasing! My only substitution was using a Cinnamon Swirl cake mix (Betty Crocker) I had on hand, instead of using yellow cake mix. It was probably better for it.

During the Holidays, I like to make pumpkin desserts. But honestly, I'm more of a fan of the idea of pumpkin than the actual thing. This dessert was right up my alley. It's very similar to the fruit crisps you can make with a cake mix and lots of butter. I took it to a church luncheon and several women asked for the recipe. I had a little left over to bring home, but it seemed like everyone who tried it liked it.
