Pumpkin Bars

This recipe came from a good friends mom.  I was never a big pumpkin eater, but let me tell you these are SO good.  Of course Betty always had a great cream cheese frosting to put on top.

2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 15 oz can pumpkin
1 cup oil
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
chopped nuts (optional)

Mix sugar, oil, eggs and pumpkin.  Mix in dry ingredients.  Mix and blend in nuts.  Bake in 10x15x1 pan.  Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.  Add cream cheese frosting.
