Hershey Bar Pie

For Mother’s Day we had a little get together at my sisters for lunch and I was put in charge of the dessert. This is usually my sister’s job but since we were having lunch at her house she had to make the food so I agreed to make the dessert.  Glad I did! I made (according to my dad, husband and children) the best pie ever!  The great thing about it was that it was sooooooo easy!  I figured since it was so easy, I would share it with you.  My apologies, I forgot to take a picture of it but the good news is I plan on making it again very soon!

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 10- Hershey bars (with or without almonds)
  • 1 – 16oz container of Cool Whip
  • 2- pie crusts ( I used graham cracker)
  • This makes 2 pies

____________________________________________________________________________

Now here’s what you do:

  • Break up 9 of the Hershey bars into a microwave safe bowl and zap them for 1 minute and then in 30 second intervals until melted, once melted let sit about 2 minutes
  • Using a mixer (stand or hand held) add all 16oz of cool whip to the chocolate and beat it until it is all blended together
  • Once you are done blending the cool whip and chocolate put it into the pie crusts
  • Smooth the mixture into the pie crust and then take the last Hershey bar and grate it over the top of the pies (I used the little stubles that were left over and stuck them into various sections of the pie)
  • Cover and freeze pies until ready to serve

They were AMAZING!

Beef Stroganoff – Not Out Of A Box! {Recipe}

Now I don’t know about the rest of you, but I LOVE beef stroganoff and so does the rest of my family.  My only problem with making it is the fact that it can be very time consuming. Well, I am pleased to announce that I have come up with a quick and easy recipe (less than 20 minutes) that doesn’t leave many leftovers in our house! Therefore I’ve tinkered with the recipe a little to make sure there is some left behind (my hubby works 3rd shift so he likes to reheat it in the morning for breakfast).

 

Beef Stroganoff, Recipe

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 -Lbs. ground beef or turkey
  • 2 -cans of cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 -medium onion (sliced and diced)
  • 2 -12 ounce containers of Chive & Onion Sour Cream (I use Mid-America Farms Top The Tater)

——————————————————————————————————————-

Now, here’s what you do!

  • Begin with boiling some water for the egg noodles…..make sure it’s big enough to hold them all! Once it’s boiling add the noodles.
  • Brown your ground beef or turkey with the onion, then drain and return it to the stove.
  • Add the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream to the meat and mix.
  • Once the noodles are done, drain, return them to the pot and add your meat mixture from the stove and stir.
  • Be sure to mix well!
  • Once it’s all mixed……YAY!!  You’ve made it!!
