Baked Pumpkin Pudding

If you are a fan of pumpkin pie, you will love this, it's kinda like pie without the crust. The larger amount of pumpkin yields a creamier result. You can make it in the one large pan, or several smaller pans. Just remember to shorten the baking time so it doesn't get overdone. This also freezes really well. Originally from a food mag, but I don't remember which one.
