Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

From the kitchen of Jean McGee 

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup oil
2 cups pumpkin
2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsp soda
1 tsp cinnamon

Combine eggs, sugar and oil in a large mixing bowl. Beat until lemon colored. Blend in pumpkin. Sift dry ingredients together and add to pumpkin mixture a small amount at a time mixing well after each addition.

Pour into a greased and floured 10x15x1½” baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or until done.

Cool and frost with Cream Cheese Frosting. Cut into bars and serve.

Frosting:
1 3-oz. pkg. cream cheese
4 Tblsp. margarine or butter
1½ cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
I always double the recipe and use 8-oz cream cheese. You’ll have some left over. 

My kids love this! It's great for potlucks because it makes a lot.
