Cake

So, I know you are not going to try & re-create this, but I liked how this turned out so I thought I would post a picture to share.

Chocolate Lava Cake in the Crockpot

So, I read over this recipe. It sounded to good not to try. It looked a little weird when I made it, but it tasted awesome. It was so easy to make. I served it with Vanilla Ice Cream & cool whip. Yummo!!! This is a keeper. Can't you just taste the gooey goodness? There was one down side to this recipe. At 2 hours, I started smelling burnt cake & I did not use a liner. It did not jiggle, so I went ahead & turned it off. The burnt cake on the side of the crockpot was so hard to scrub off. Even after soaking it over night, it took a while to scrub.


1 package devils food cake mix ( I used some Betty Crocker pudding kind)
3 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 2/3 cups water
1 package Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding Mix (3 oz)
2 cups cold milk
1 bag (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Now you can use a crockpot liner on this if you have one. It does burn quite easy.
Preparation:
Prepare cake mix into batter using eggs, oil, and water. Pour into crock-pot.

Prepare Jell-O Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix using milk. Pour this over cake mix in crock-pot. (Do not allow to set up). Sprinkle chocolate chips all over the top of the batter.

Cook in crock-pot on high setting for 2 1/2 to 3 hours with liner (Mine took 2 hours without the liner) until cake is moist but not jiggle, and little volcanoes of spitting chocolate appear on top. Serve with ice cream, whipped topping, or on its own for a really special dessert.

Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie

I got this recipe off the Betty Crocker's website. I read over it, after it was suggested to me, of course I read the reviews & changed it up a little bit. It was so super easy & delish. Next time though, I think I will add a few jalapeno's for some spice.


1 lb ground beef (at least 80%)
1 large onion chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded cheese
1/2 can diced tomatoes - drained(optional)
1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix
1 cup Milk
2 Large Eggs

Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray.

In 10-inch skillet, cook beef, onion & garlic over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown; drain. Stir in salt. Let cool for a few minutes. Stir in cheese & tomatoes. Dump this mixture into a pie plate.

In small bowl, stir remaining ingredients with fork or wire whisk until blended. Pour into pie plate.

Bake about 25 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 min. before serving.
