Today’s recipe is an old school classic – Peanut Butter Haystacks.

Peanut Butter Haystacks (No-Bake)

A quick and easy, sweet and salty treat that’s been a favorite for generations. Made with creamy peanut butter, butterscotch chips, crispy chow mein noodles and salted peanuts. No baking is required, these candy like cookies are ready in a flash and are always a huge hit! Perfect for holiday cookie trays.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER HAYSTACKS

La Choy chow mein noodles, creamy peanut butter, butterscotch chips and salted peanuts (optional).

This simple recipe requires only 4 ingredients, 3 if you leave out the salted peanuts.

*See tips below for variations for this recipe using white, milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.

HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER HAYSTACKS

Line baking sheet(s) with wax paper or parchment paper.

In a large pot (heavy bottom or double boiler pots are best), over medium heat, add butterscotch chips and peanut butter. Stir continuously, until ALL chips are completely melted. Be sure not to allow the mixture to scorch, reduce heat if that happens.

When melted and smooth, remove from heat and add chow mein noodles and peanuts (optional), gently folding/ stirring until well coated.

Drop spoonfuls of mixture on to baking sheet covered with wax or parchment paper. Allow to cool.

*The mixture will be hot, do not touch with your hands!

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff (Easy)

by Mary Neumann · 2 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s recipe is a cold weather comfort food classic, an old school favorite made easy – Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff.

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff (Easy)

One of my family’s favorite go-to cold weather meals is made even easier with this fantastic slow cooker recipe. Beef stew meat is slow cooked in a rich, creamy mushroom gravy sauce, cooked to tender perfection then served over egg noodles. A hearty, stick-to-your bones, warm you up meal that’s always a hit!

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SLOW COOKER BEEF STROGANOFF

Beef stew meat, fresh sliced mushrooms (you can use canned), chopped onion, condensed golden mushroom soup, sour cream, pepper and egg noodles.

Red wine is optional but adds fantastic flavor. Egg noodles are best for this dish, but you can also use mashed potatoes or rice.

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER BEEF STROGANOFF

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray, then place beef in a single layer (*see tip below about browning beef first). Add mushrooms, onion, pepper and both cans of soup and wine (optional), stir until well blended. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Adjust cooking time according to how fast/slow your slow cooker cooks. Last, add sour cream mixing well – cover for about 10 mins or until heated through. Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes or rice, salt and pepper to taste.

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff (Easy)

Recipe from Betty Crocker

Ingredients

1 pound beef stew meat
2 cans (10 3/4 each) condensed golden mushroom soup
8 ounces sliced mushrooms (fresh is best but canned works too)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
1 cup sour cream (added AFTER slow cooking, at the end)
egg noodles prepared according to package (or mashed potatoes, rice)

Optional

1/4- 1/3 cup red wine

Directions

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray, then place beef in a single layer. Add mushrooms, onion, pepper and both cans of soup and wine (optional), stir until well blended.

Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Adjust cooking time according to how fast/slow your slow cooker cooks.

Last, add sour cream mixing well – cover for about 10 mins or until heated through. Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes or rice, salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

TIPS

Browning the stew meat first adds an extra layer of flavor.

I always add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of red wine to beef stroganoff – so good.

You can use Healthy Request Golden Mushroom Soup for this recipe, if you are not able to find regular condensed Golden Mushroom soup, however it may be a bit bland. Adding 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 to 1/3 cup red wine makes it super tasty!

For the 2 person version of this recipe, please head to Betty Crocker. Be sure to read the great reviews!

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheers!

Black Forest Cobbler (4 Ingredients)

by Mary Neumann · 3 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s tried and true recipe is a delicious, quick and easy dessert that’s so simple to make with only 4 Ingredients – Black Forest Cobbler!

Black Forest Cobbler (aka, Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake and Black Forest Dump Cake)

If you’re a fan of black forest cake (chocolate cherry cake), this twist on cobbler is a must-try! Made with just 4 simple ingredients – chocolate cake mix, cherry pie filling, butter and chocolate chips. Only minutes to throw together, this dump and bake dessert is ooey gooey, chocolate cherry heaven. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an absolutely delicious treat.

What You Need To Make Black Forest Cobbler

A box of Devil’s Food cake mix, 2 cans of cherry pie filling (21 ounces each), 3/4 cup of melted butter and 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) – that’s all you need. This is best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top – a must!

How To Make Black Forest Cobbler

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9″x 13″ glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Evenly spread both cans of cherry pie filling in baking dish. Sprinkle dry cake mix over cherry pie filling, spreading evenly. Last, slowly pour melted butter evenly over dry cake mix, covering most of the dry mix (see tip below). Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly on top (optional).

Bake on middle rack of oven for 40-45 minutes. The cobbler is ready when edges of the baking dish are bubbling and top is baked.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY DUMP CAKE

This dessert is from Betty Crocker. Betty calls the recipe “Chocolate Cherry Dump Cake” – to me it’s more like a cobbler even though you use cake mix. The top is not cakey, it has a brownie like topping with an ooey gooey cherry bottom layer. The addition of chocolate chips are optional and not called for in the original recipe. To me, chocolate chips takes this already great recipe up a notch if you’re a chocolate lover.
