Basic Dump Cake

Basic Dump Cake...
I was given this recipe by my aunt years ago… There are so many variations you can make, it would be really hard to get tired of this dessert!!!

1 yellow cake mix,
1 can crushed pineapple(do NOT drain),
1 can cherry pie filling,
2 sticks of butter(melted)...


layer in cake pan pineapple, pie filling, cake mix, level the cake mix as best you can**DO NOT MIX then pour butter all over the top...
Bake at 375* for approx 45 mins. Allow to cool about 10 mins then serve...(its good cool as well, but I like it warm)
 I like to change up the flavor cake mix and pie filling, but you must have the crushed pineapple as the juice is part of your liquid forthe cake
( lemon cake mix and blueberry pie filling, devils food cake and strawberry pie filling... etc... whatever sounds good…)

Cheesy Bacon Bombs

  Here’s all ya have to do:
Ingredients
1 can (8 ct.) Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits
1 block of mozzarella cheese
1 package of bacon (I suggest thick cut bacon)
Toothpicks or larger wooden skewers
Oil (I used Canola, but you could use vegetable oil as well)

The original recipe for this calls for smaller squares of the cheese, so I changed it up a bit by cutting larger squares and using 1/2 pieces of the raw biscuits instead of 1/4’s.  Regardless, the aim of this is to wrap the cheese block in raw biscuit, then wrap it in a piece of bacon and fry it in 350° oil until all sides are nice and golden brown.  Set on paper towels to drain and cool for a few minutes.

As good as these were, you can easily see how you could let your imagination run wild with this simple recipe.  I’m thinking of adding a piece of jalapeño, maybe mixing up the kind of cheese you use and hit it with a bit of raspberry preserves for a bit of sweetness on the finish.  Try your own and let me know in the comments below what come up with!

HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES

HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES
2 cups flour (all purpose)
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 medium eggs
1/4 cup water...
In a large bowl combine the flour and salt. Make a hole in the flour, like a well. Crack the eggs into the hole.
Using you hands or large spoon mash the eggs and flour together making a coarse and crumbly mixture. Add the water. Mix again until you have a nice, stiff dough.
Knead the dough a few minutes to get it nice and smooth (5-10 min.) You may need to dust it with a little flour to keep it from sticking to your hands.
When you are satisfied with your ball of noodle dough cover it with a tea towel and let it rest for about 20 minutes. This is to relax the gluten in the dough, making it easier to roll out.
Use a rolling pin and a floured surface roll dough out real thin, as the noodles will poof out when they cook. Cut into strips or the the shape you want. Let the noodles rest and dry for about 20-30 min if you can.
Cook in a broth that's boiling and then reduce to simmer for 25-30 minutes.

Crockpot Beef Stroganoff

The Absolute BEST Crockpot Beef Stroganoff


2 pounds cubed stew meat
2 cans Condensed Golden Mushroom Soup
1 largish onion diced
2-3-4 tabls of Worcestershire
1/2 cup water
8 oz of cream cheese
couple of dashes of Garlic Salt (1 tsp?)
couple dashes of Hot Paprika
In the slow cooker stir in all the ingredients together, (except the meat AND the Cream Cheese). Once combined add the meat and mix together.
Cook on Low for 8 hours.
Cut up the cream cheese into cubes just before serving and turn crockpot on high. Stir the cream cheese in until all combined. You might have to put the lid back on and leave for 10 minutes.
Oh my gosh! This was so good and so easy.
Oh, and I doubled it the second time I made it.
So good to freeze BEFORE adding the cream cheese. Just re-heat on the stove and add cream cheese 10 minutes before serving. The meat becomes even more tender when reheated after freezing-perfect for toast.
