Super Yummy Rhubarb Custard Cake

I know, I know I have not shared a recipe in a really long time.  This does not mean I have not been trying new ones; just haven't found one to share.
Rhubarb is in season still and this has to be one of my favorite rhubarb recipes.  Besides being super simple and quick it tastes delicious!!

Yellow cake mix, plus ingredients to make on box
4 c. rhubarb, chopped
1 c. sugar
1 pint heavy whipping cream.

First, make the cake according to the directions on the box.  Pour the cake batter into a 9x13 pan.  Directly on top of that spread out the chopped rhubarb, then the sugar and lastly pour over the heavy whipping cream.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. 

During the baking process those ingredients on the top will fall to the bottom and make a really yummy custard.  My family likes this served with a dollop of Cool Whip on top.

Nicole's Holiday Bars

So, I'm sitting here at a scrapbooking retreat.  Although I don't scrapbook, I'm spending the weekend working on crocheting a blanket that I have been working on for Tristan for a really long time.  Everyone brings along a snack to share.  Here are some really good bars that Nicole brought.

1 stick butter
1 bag mini marshmallows
4 c. Crispix
4 c. pretzels
1 c. M&M's

Melt butter and stir in the marshmallows until melted.  Pour over the Crispix and pretzels in a bowl. After that is combined, add M&M's. Spread in a greased 9x13 pan. Yum!  The prefect mix of sweet, salty and crunchy.

Missy's Hamburger Chow Mein

My sister shared this recipe with me and our family enjoyed it.  It is souper :o) easy!

2 lbs. hamburger, browned

2 cans chicken-rice soup

2 cans cream of mushroom soup

1 small can mushrooms

1 c. milk

1 bag chow mein noodles

Small amount of soy sauce

Onion to taste

Mix all together and heat at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until hot.

Goulash

Okay, so I'm the only one in my family that enjoys goulash.  Tonight I decided to make it for the first time.  In the past I have just gotten a bowl as my mom has made it and that is good, but thought it would be nice to have a big helping of it in the fridge to dig into for lunches all week.  Here is the recipe I used:

1 lb. hamburger
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can tomato soup
1 small can tomato sauce
1 1/2 c. elbow macaroni

Brown hamburger and drain.  Add soup, tomatoes and sauce.  Boil and cook macaroni according to directions on box and add to hamburger mixture.  Season and let simmer.

Easy Enchiladas

2 lbs. ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 med. can chili no-beans
2 can cream of mushroom soup
2 T. chili powder
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 c. shredded mozzerella cheese
10-12 sm. flour tortillas

Brown hamburger and onion in large skillet, drain. Add chili, soup and chili powder. Simmer about 15 minutes. Grease 9x13 pan. Take a tortilla in yo0ur hand and put 2-3 spoonfuls of meat mixture into it. Roll the tortilla and put in pan. Lay the next one close to it and so on until you fill the pan. When all are filled, sprinkle with 1/3 of combined cheese. Cover with remaining meat mixture. Sprinkle with rest of cheeses. Bake uncovered 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees. Cut into squares and serve with lettuce, tomatoes, black olives and sour cream.

Pannukakku (German pancake)

So I had some leftover fresh strawberries and some leftover freezer strawberries in syrup that I needed to use up.  So I decided to give this pannukakku recipe a try.  It must have been okay as the whole pan is gone.  It is a cross between a custard and a pancake, but with the strawberries over top you can't go wrong.  I just cut up the fresh strawberries and mixed them in with the frozen strawberries with syrup and served it along side the pancake.

1/4 c. butter
3 eggs
1/2 c. white sugar
1 tsp. salt
2 c. milk
1 1/4 c. flour
1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Put butter in 9x13 inch pan and put in oven while preheating.  In the meantime stir sugar, salt and flour together.  Add in the eggs, milk and vanilla with a blender.  Remove pan from oven and carefully move butter around pan covering the bottom and sides with butter.  Add extra butter in with the batter and mix again (batter will be very thin).  After you have batter mixed, pour it back into the cake pan and return to the oven.  Bake for 30-35 minutes until slightly browned around the edges.  Cut into squares and serve with strawberries.

Chicken Enchilada Dip

Tristan is a huge fan of chicken dips so I just had to try this Sunday.  He ate quite a bit of it, but still claims buffalo chicken dip is his favorite. 

2 c. shredded, cooked chicken
10 3/4 oz. can cream of chicken soup
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
5 oz. can evaporated milk
1/3 c. finely chopped onion
4 oz. can chopped green chilies
1 envelope taco seasoning

Mix all together in small slow cooker and warm.  Serve with tortilla chips.
