CHERRY DELIGHT

 I received this from a dear friend over 20 years ago. Karen Timberlake - enjoy!


2 cans cherry pie filling
white or yellow cake mix
1/4 c margarine or 1 stick melted butter
Nuts

Put cherries in pan, cover with dry cake mix, pour melted butter over and cover with nuts (your choice). Bake 1 hour at 325*

Can serve with ice cream 😍

Enjoy!

PINA COLADA CAKE

1/3 cup Rum
1 pkg coconut instant pudding mix (may want to try lemon or lime if can't find coconut)
1 pkg yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup oil
1 cup coconut

Blend all ingredients except coconut in large bowl. Beat 4 minutes at med speed. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9" layer pans. (or a 13x9 pan) Bake 350* for 25-30 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. (toothpick test as well) Do not underbake. Cool in pans 15 minutes, remove & cook on racks. Fill and frost and sprinkle with coconut. Chill. 


FROSTING:

Combine 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple in juice, 1 pkg coconut instant pudding and 1/3 cup rum in bowl. Beat well. Fold in 1 container (9 oz) frozen whipped topping - thawed. 

Enjoy!

WESTERN CHILI CASSEROLE

 1 lb ground beef
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped celery (optional)
1-15 oz can chili, w/beans (you may find a small can of this as 15 oz is hard to find)
1/4 tsp pepper
2 cups (slightly crushed) corn chips 
1 cup shredded cheese (or cheese soup)

Brown meat - add onion. Mix all ingredients, adding corn chips last 15 minutes. Whole chips on top. 

Bake 350* for 10 mins - serves 6 


NOTE: I l believe this should be cooked for at least 30 minutes, since it states to add chips in LAST 15 minutes, yet the recipe I have states to cook for 10 mins. I think that was referring to after adding the chips, to cook another 10 minutes)
