A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

ingredients
1 can (16 ounce size) pumpkin pie filling
1 can (12 ounce size) evaporated milk
2 tablespoons butter, at room temperature or melted and cooled
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch, 1 1/2-inch deep pie pan.
Combine the pie filling, evaporated milk, butter, egg, sugar, baking mix, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth (2-3 minutes).
Pour the pumpkin pie filling into the prepared pie pan. Place the pie in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the middle of the pie comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
Serve the pie warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
recipe tips
Drizzle caramel sauce on top for added sweetness when serving.
If you want a deeper pumpkin flavor, add a bit of pure pumpkin puree in place of some evaporated milk.
For a richer taste, substitute half of the sugar with brown sugar for a hint of molasses flavor.
Garnish the pie with toasted pecans for a little texture.
Keep an eye on the pie as it bakes; if the edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
Serve the pie with cinnamon-flavored whipped cream for a festive twist.
common recipe questions
What is crustless pumpkin pie?
A crustless pumpkin pie is a type of pumpkin pie that does not have a traditional pastry crust. Instead, the batter itself sets into a firm, custard-like texture when baked, holding all the flavors without the need for a crust.
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of canned pumpkin pie filling?
You can use fresh pumpkin puree instead of canned filling. However, be sure to season it with sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract to replicate the flavor of canned filling.
What is Bisquick?
Bisquick is a pre-mixed baking product that combines flour, baking powder, and salt. In this recipe, it acts as a binder, helping to set the pie's custard-like filling and keeps it from being overly dense.
How can I make the pie sweeter or less sweet?
To make the pie sweeter, increase the sugar to taste. To reduce the sweetness, you can decrease the sugar but make sure that the flavor remains balanced. You can also use a heat-safe sugar substitute.
Is it necessary to use vanilla extract?
Vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor of the pie, but if you don't have it, you can omit it. Alternatively, you use almond or rum extract for a different flavor.
How do I know when the pumpkin pie is done baking?
The pie is done when it is set in the center and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. It should have a slight jiggle but not be liquid.
Can I freeze the crustless pumpkin pie?
You can freeze the pie. Allow it to cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
How should I store leftovers?
Store leftover pie in the refrigerator in an airtight container. It can be kept for 3-4 days.
Can I reheat the pie?
You can reheat the pie in the oven at 350 degrees F until warmed through, or use the microwave, but be cautious not to overheat it, as this can change the texture.
Is there an alternative to pumpkin pie spice?
You can create your own pumpkin pie spice blend using cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger.
What if I don't have a 10-inch pie pan?
If you do not have a 10-inch pie pan, you can use smaller ramekins for individual servings, adjusting the baking time as they may cook faster. You can also use a 10-inch springform pan.
Can I add other ingredients to the filling?
You can add ingredients like nuts, chocolate chips, or additional spices and flavors such as grated ginger or orange zest.
tools needed
Electric Mixer: For beating the pumpkin pie filling and other ingredients together until smooth.
Measuring Cups and Spoons: For measuring ingredients such as sugar, Bisquick, and pumpkin pie spice.
10-inch Deep Pie Pan: Used to hold and bake the crustless pumpkin pie. It must be greased before use to prevent sticking.
Mixing Bowl: A large bowl is needed for combining the pie filling ingredients before mixing.
Spatula: For scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl.
Knife: Helps determine if the pie is done by checking if it comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the pie.
Wire Rack: Used for cooling the pie after removing it from the oven.
what goes with it?
Whipped Cream: Top the pie with freshly whipped cream to add a light, airy texture that balances the dense, creamy filling.
Cinnamon Ice Cream: Serve a scoop of cinnamon ice cream alongside the pie. The spiced flavor boosts the pumpkin notes and adds creaminess.
Maple Syrup Drizzle: A drizzle of maple syrup over the pie brings a deeper sweetness and a hint of earthiness that complements the pumpkin spice.
Chopped Pecans: Sprinkle chopped pecans on top of the pie for a crunchy contrast to the creamy filling. Their nutty flavor pairs well with the warm spices.
Caramel Sauce: A warm caramel sauce adds a rich, buttery sweetness that complements the pie's flavors.
Cheese Platter: Present a cheese platter with sharp cheeses like cheddar or gouda. The savory notes and creaminess of the cheeses provide a savory counterpoint to the sweet pie.
Ginger Snap Cookies: Pair with ginger snap cookies for a textural contrast. Their spice complements the pumpkin flavor while providing a sweet crunch.
beverage pairings
Wine Pairings
Chardonnay: A nice oaked Chardonnay can complement the creaminess of the pie with its buttery texture. Look for one that has notes of vanilla and apple to pair nicely with the pumpkin spice.
Pinot Grigio: If you prefer something lighter, a crisp Pinot Grigio works well too. Its citrusy acidity can brighten the rich flavors of the pie, making each bite feel a bit lighter.
Gewurztraminer: This wine is often aromatic and slightly sweet, with spicy notes that echo the pumpkin pie spice. It creates a balance with the pie's sweetness and flavor.
Other Alcohol Pairings
Bourbon: The caramel and vanilla notes in bourbon will enhance the sweetness of the pie, while the warmth of the spirit works with the spices.
Cream Ale: A smooth cream ale can match the richness of the pie without being overly heavy. Look for something that's slightly sweet with a mild hop profile to keep it refreshing.
Spiced Rum: A spiced rum cocktail can echo the flavors of pumpkin pie spice. Mixing it with ginger beer creates a warming drink that pairs perfectly with the pie.
Non-Alcoholic Pairings
Chai Latte: This warm drink, full of spices like cinnamon and clove, can complement the flavors of the pumpkin pie.
Apple Cider: A spiced apple cider, served warm, can enhance the pie's flavors.
Maple Milk: This is just regular milk with a splash of maple syrup. The sweetness of the maple will pair well with the pumpkin pie, adding an extra layer of flavor.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

love this pie and it is easy.
Do you use pure pumpkin pie mix or the one that is quick mix?
There are two kinds of canned pumpkin. Pure pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie filling. The pure pumpkin puree is just that: pure. It has no seasonings in it. Pumpkin pie filling (which is what this recipe calls for) comes with spices and sweetener in it.
Is it possible to still purchase 16-oz. can pumpkin pie filling? In my area, only 15-oz. cans are available.
QUICK...EASY..GREAT TEXTURE...GOOD TASTE...EVERYONE I'VE SEVED IT TO LIKES IT ALOT

This recipe sounds a little strange, but I tried it and everyone enjoyed it. Do use the dollop of Cool Whip!
