Tis The Season!

So I just want you to know something. Its November… November 19 to be exact. Where has this year gone??? Now, don't get me wrong, I love the Holiday season, but it just seems like this year has gone by so fast! Look at the catalogues that came to my house the other week: 

Yeah, I know, its crazy! And that was only from one day!

So, Thanksgiving is next week. Most people have forgotten about pumpkin by now and they have moved on to peppermint, but not me! I love pumpkin, plus it has a lot of health benefits. Also, you have to have pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving! Orrrrrrrrrrrr….. you could do something so much easier and so much guiltier. Muah hahahahaha! (evil laugh) That is why I am sharing this recipe with you today! Its called Pumpkin Dump Cake and it is super super super easy! (and sweet) Here are the ingredients:

I know what you're thinking: Only 8 ingredients??? No way!

Yes way! That is why this recipe is so wonderful! Its called a Dump cake because you literally dump all the ingredients together and bake it. You can make it really fast and people really love it! 

So here's how to make it:

Open the can of pumpkin (please use only pure pumpkin puree, if you use pumpkin pie filling it could turn out really weird!) and put it in a medium bowl. Add the can (or cans) of evaporated milk.

Next, add the brown sugar, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice. (Smells yummy right?!)

And mix it all together! Meanwhile, prepare a 9x13 baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 350º. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared dish.

Next, take the cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the pumpkin mixture. Spread it out to ensure that it is even.

Evenly sprinkle the crushed graham crackers on top.

Annnnndddd then you add the glorious melted butter. Make sure you cover the cake evenly. You want that buttery goodness to be all over that cake!

Now its ready to bake! Pop it in the oven for 50-55 minutes.

When it is done (you might need to cut into it to make sure) cut and enjoy!

Yum!!!
