Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, granulated sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
• Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
• Evenly sprinkle the dry cake mix over the pumpkin mixture.
• Drizzle the melted butter over the dry cake mix, ensuring it's covered as much as possible.
• Sprinkle chopped pecans over the top, if desired.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the pumpkin filling is set.
• Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
