Easy 5-Minute Almost Cheesecake Dessert

Easy 5-Minute Almost Cheesecake Dessert

Easy 5-Minute Almost Cheesecake Dessert

Ingredients
1/4-1/3 cup butter
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 (14 ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces sour cream
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (21 ounce) cans cherry pie filling ( or blueberry pie filling)

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (oven rack set to lowest bottom position).
Grease an 8 x 8-inch square baking dish.
In the baking dish melt the butter inside the oven.
Remove from oven; sprinkle the cracker crumbs in the melted butter, stir well; press on the bottom of the baking dish to form a crust.
Bake the graham crust in a 350 degree oven for 7 minutes; remove and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, sour cream and lemon juice.
Spread evenly over the crumb/crust.
Spoon the pie filling evenly over the cream layer (don’t worry if it sinks a bit, it will all bake together).
Bake on lowest oven rack for 25-30 minutes, or until set (don’t over bake).
Serve warm or chill overnight (this will firm up and develop in flavor if left in the refrigerator overnight).
** This dessert is very good so you might want to consider doubling it — this can be easily doubled and baked in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan, double the canned pie filling too and bake it for just a couple minutes longer.

Chicken Philly Cheese Steak (Slow Cooker Recipe)

I do not know about you but I LOVE Slow Cooker recipes! Heck if it was not for slow cookers I doubt my kids would have had a decent meal when they were little!!! ENJOY

Chicken Philly Cheese Steak

(Slow Cooker Recipe)
Ingredients
2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup chicken broth (I used a bouillon cube and a cup of water)
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
¼ tsp. garlic powder
1 large bell peppers, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
2 cups sliced mushrooms
Hoagie Roll
salt and pepper to season the bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms

Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker, add 1 cup of broth and seasonings. Save the vegetables to add later. Cover then cook on low for 6 hours or until the chicken pulls apart easily. After the chicken has cooked, layer the veggies on top of the cooked chicken. Cover and cook for another hour. Shred the chicken using 2 forks. Drain as much liquid from the chicken and veggies as possible before placing on the roll. Top with cheese, place open faced under the broiler to toast. Enjoy!!
Low Carb Options – use low carb roll or flat bread. Also tastes wonderful served on a plate with no bread.

I love Getting Feed back on my recipes, let me know what you think of this one!
