My husband put a request in for pumpkin pie last week..." Pumpkin pie with pecans on it" he said.  I didn't really want to mess with a crust right now so I headed over to the Libby Pumpkin site to see what they had.  I found this pumpkin square recipe, much easier than making pie and just as delicious.  The bottom crust came together very fast ( lucky me) . After patting it into the bottom of a 13x9 inch pan ,I made the pumpkin filling.  Pumpkin pie spice gave it all the warm spice we love in pumpkin , the evaporated milk made the filling creamy and delicious.  Brown sugar and pecans on top , well that's just a bonus, and I was able to meet my husbands request for pecans and pumpkin. Next time I make it ,I'll add a little cinnamon to the topping, I love my cinnamon. The crust has a slight crisp chewy texture, the pumpkin is smooth and spiced while the brown sugar adds a little sweetness on top ,and the pecans give the squares a nice crunch.  Paul loved , I loved it.  This would be an excellent dessert to take to a pot luck or family dinner.  Enjoy!
