This recipe is from my friend Doug, and he always makes these when I visit. I'm still not sure why they are called pies, but then who really cares if they taste really good, right?.

2 1/2 cups brown sugar
1cup vegetable oil
1 small can pumpkin
2 eggs
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon salt
