Snickers Cake

Want to help support The Country Cook? Please "Pin" this recipe to your favorite board on Pinterest using the handy dandy button below! Thank you kindly! I clearly have a thing for candy-inspired cakes. I mean, what's not to love? I've made a Whopper Cake. I actually make this one pretty often. That one is a huge favorite of my husband's. I can bribe him to do stuff with that cake! Then there was the Butterfinger Cake. This cake is actually pretty similar to the cake I'm sharing today so that's how I knew it would come out delicious! I like to take this one to new Moms. It's one I know everyone will like. And now today, it's the Snickers cake. And boy, this one does not disappoint. I took inspiration for this cake from Steph over at Plain Chicken. I condensed this recipe quite a bit, but if you want the full-octane version, click here. It is so moist and the caramel sauce drizzled on the warm cake really...

30 Favorite Ground Beef Recipes

2013-06-12T08:00:00.000-04:00

Want to help support The Country Cook? Please "Pin" this recipe to your favorite board on Pinterest using the handy dandy button below! Thank you kindly! Today I thought I would put together some of my favorite recipes to make with ground beef. Ground beef and chicken breasts are probably my two most-purchased meats. And if I can get a good deal on either one, I'll buy a lot of it and then freeze it to use later. This gets me more bang for my buck. So always make sure you are watching out for those sales! Most of these meals are pretty easy to throw together and can be made during weeknights. But most of all - they are good! These are definitely what I would call family favorites. If you see one you like, just click right on the picture and it will take you directly to the recipe.

Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream {No Machine Required!}

Want to help support The Country Cook? Please "Pin" this recipe to your favorite board on Pinterest using the handy dandy button below! Thank you kindly! Well y'all, it's that time of year again - summer! Kids are out of school and the warm days and nights are ahead of us. We are outside more and the sun is making us hot! It's fun and exhausting all at the same time. What better way to beat the heat than with some ice cream. And you don't even need a machine to make this delicious indulgence. Now, I have an ice cream maker that I enjoy breaking out from time to time. I really love to make all of us a Homemade Frosty (only 2 ingredients!). And with ice cream makers, you only have to wait minutes for your treat. This recipe doesn't require any machine, it only has a few ingredients, but does require just a bit of patience while it sets up. But I promise, the wait is totally worth it. It comes out so creamy and smooth and the flavor is...

Country Pork Chops and Rice

2013-06-05T08:00:00.000-04:00

Want to help support The Country Cook? Please "Pin" this recipe to your favorite board on Pinterest using the handy dandy button below! Thank you kindly! I think there are a few basic recipes that every cook should have memorized. Recipes that you always know how to easily make and you don't need a long list to carry with you to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients. This here is one of those recipes. It is deceivingly simple but it is always a family pleaser. Many of y'all grew up on this meal. I certainly ain't reinventing the wheel here. But in my mind, it is these most basic of recipes that we always come back to because they are comforting and they taste like home and family and the food of our childhood. I am using beef bouillon in this recipe. I like to have beef and chicken bouillon (cubes or powder) handy in my pantry all the time. It is a staple that is always good to have. Also, for this recipe where it requires 3 cups of beef broth, the beef...
