Mississippi Mud Brownies

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100

Mississippi Mud Brownies

I took this to our church's celebration of Brother Mickey, our Minister of Music, having served the Lord at our church for 20 years!!
He has been faithful to point us to Jesus through songs of worship!!

This is only a portion of the brownies. Because they are so gooey, you can't stack them. You'll need a very large platter, or multiple platters, to hold them all.
I thought this was a cute and happy little plate. It was $1.25 at Dollar General - one of those that wouldn't have to be returned.
It's large enough to hold a cake, too!


Mississippi Mud Brownies

I have made these several times over the years. This is my adaption of a recipe I originally found in a 2004 issue of Southern Living magazine. They make a huge jelly roll-sized pan full. Great for a crowd!! They are very rich and gooey!! My family makes audible moans when they eat theses! They are great warm, but are also very moist the next day, too!

2 (19.5-ounce) packages commercial brownie mix
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
1 (10.5-ounce) bag miniature marshmallows

Pour both packages of brownie mix into a large bowl. Double the oil, eggs and water called for in preparing one box. Pour brownie batter into a 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan.
Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven; sprinkle the bag of marshmallows over top of brownies. Sprinkle chopped pecans over marshmallows. Return to oven, and bake 5 minutes. Drizzle Chocolate Frosting over warm cake. Cool completely.

Chocolate Frosting:

1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup milk, more or less - want it to be of a drizzling consistency
Combine first three ingredients using electric mixer. Gradually add milk until desired consistency is reached.

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Dough Burgers

  Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant!  When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...

They were a hit!  These cake-like cookies are simply delicious! The brunt sugar icing is perfect! This was one of Wayne's mom's recipes. Be sure to take a look at Mrs. Carter's original recipe in her own handwriting . I love that! What a treasure! I have formatted the recipe to conform to my usual way of posting (Y'all have been able to tell I have a format, right?;) I do like Mrs. Carter's version better, though! I am sure her icing looked much neater than mine! The kids were rushing me. Lost was coming on! Thanks again for sharing this, Wayne!
