Daddy's Cherry Cobbler

As promised, this is my dad's phenomenal cobbler recipe. He usually does it in a dutch oven, I did it in an oven. (my sister just pointed out to me that I put crock pot. And not dutch oven...that was embarrassing. Sorry for the confusion.)

Cake Mix (Choc is what he does, we did Vanilla)
4-6 TBL butter
Brown Sugar
Pie Cherries
Egg Yolks
Cream
Choc chips, or special dark choc bar (We did white choc)

Melt butter in pan, pack brown sugar in the bottom for a sort of crust like feeling. Put pie cherries on top. Get the cake mix. If it calls for oil, put dark choc, if it calls for eggs, do egg yolks, if it calls for milk or water, do cream. Put the cake mix on top of the cherries. Cook at 350 until ALMOST done, about 5 minutes before it is done, poke holes in the top, stick the chocolate in it and put brown sugar on top. It will melt the chocolate and make it delicious! Ours didn't melt that well, it was my first time making it though. So hopefully it improves.

Let me know if you try this! I didn't eat it but I hear it was amazing! It smelled and LOOKED amazing as well! Sorry my picture doesn't show that so well.

Brown Sugar Meatloaf

So way back when I made this recipe for my sister and bro in law. I had it on my other blog, but wanted to put it on here :)

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
3/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cup finely crushed saltine cracker crumbs

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease a 5x9 inch loaf pan.
Press brown sugar in the bottom of prepared loaf pan and spread ketchup over the sugar
In a mixing bowl combine the remaining ingredients thoroughly and shape into a loaf. Place on top of ketchup.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour or until juices run clear.
