Pumpkin Pie Streusel Bars

This is one of those recipes that tastes like pumpkin pie, but is not in pumpkin pie form. This is in bar form, which is quicker and easier to bake and eat. The crust is not a traditional crust either, but a cake mix mixture which is very simple and quick, and is also used for the streusel. And of course, the filling tastes just like pumpkin pie!
Pumpkin Pie Streusel Bars
1 white cake mix
3/4 cup melted butter or hard margarine, divided
1/4 cup granulated (white) sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large eggs, divided
1 can (approximately 3 cups) pumpkin pie filling
2/3 cup milk

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line a 9x13 inch rectangular baking pan.
In a small bowl, combine 1 cup cake mix, 1/4 cup of the butter, the sugar, and the cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine remaining cake mix, 1/2 cup butter, and one egg. Press this firmly into prepared pan.
In a medium bowl, combine the pumpkin pie filling, two eggs, and milk. Pour over bottom. Sprinkle with streusel mixture.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until set.
