German Chocolate Cheesecake

My sister called me this morning for this recipe and I realized I hadn't put it on here!! This is my FAVORITE dessert of all time! I seriously can eat the whole pan!! And it's not really a cheesecake, but that's what we've always called it and that's what it'll always be to me!!
Crust:
1½ c. flour
1½ sticks butter ~ melted
¼ c. sugar
1 c. chopped walnuts ~ you could leave these out if you're not a nut fan!
Mix all together and spread into a greased 9x13 baking dish.
Bake @ 450º for 10-12 minutes, until golden around edges.
Cool completely.

Mix together: ~ {I usually double this mixture}
1 8 oz. cream cheese
1 c. powdered sugar
1 8 oz. cool whip
Spread over cooled crust.

2 small instant chocolate puddings...mix together as directed on package with cold milk.
Pour over cream cheese mixture.
Let pudding set up 10 minutes or so and top with another 8 oz. cool whip!
Garnish with additional walnuts or shaved chocolate!! Sooo good!

Chicken Pot Pie

This was very good!! I remember as a kid though picking off the top of my chicken pot pie and that's exactly what my kids did...all of them!! But it was easy to throw together and the taste was so yummy on a cold fall day! John really liked it! I got the recipe from Everyone's Gotta Eat! She has a lot of things I want to try!!

Filling:

2 cups chopped, cooked chicken

1/2 cup onion

2 cups mixed frozen vegetables

2 cans cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of celery soup {just realized I left this out on accident and it still tasted great!}

1/2 - 3/4 cup chicken broth

Combine and place in lightly greased 13x9 baking dish.

Crust:

1 1/2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups mayonnaise

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (recipe below)

Combine and pour evenly over filling.Bake at 350° for about 1 hour or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.

Self-rising flour ~

2 cups flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

Combine. Makes about 2 cups

Again I doubled the filling of soup and veggies, except the onions, and added about four potatoes, cubed ~ I always remember pot pie having potatoes! Then I made the crust as directed and poured over the top! I also did use a little bit bigger casserole dish that I have since I doubled it to hold everything and not have it bubble over everywhere! It was a filling meal in itself so I just served it along with root beer floats...a drink and dessert in one!!
