My previous job at the Humane Society could be stressful to say the least. Our amazing staff saw the best and, unfortunately, the worst of human behavior toward defenseless animals. The ups and downs of daily life at the shelter made us a tight knit family, working together for the greater good. As a way to unwind we would often have pot-lucks or BBQs. Lets just say we appreciated a day of grazing on good grub, and we all had our own signature dishes.
My co-worker, Jeff, was known for this amazingly simple peach cobbler. With big flavor and only 3 ingredients I normally have on hand in the pantry, this is a great go-to recipe when we're looking for something sweet, gooey, and warm for dessert. Making this dish also reminds me of the good times and laughter shared with co-workers that became family. I miss them and wish them the best in their efforts to build a much needed new shelter.
INGREDIENTS:
2 - 15 oz cans sliced peaches in light syrup (do not drain)
1 box Yellow Cake Mix
1 sick butter (1/2 cup) melted
Pour the 2 cans of peaches (including juice) into a 13x9x2 in baking dish. I personally prefer more peaches so I add an extra 15 oz can of peaches, drained. It's important to drain the additional peaches if you add them because the additional liquid will make the crust soggy. (I learned this the hard way.)
Evenly sprinkle the yellow cake mix over the peaches, trying to make it as level as you can. (see above photo) It's OK if some peaches are peeking through.
As seen in the above 2 photos, evenly drizzle melted butter over yellow cake mix. Not all of the cake mix will be saturated.
Place in oven pre-heated at 350 degrees, and bake for 35 min or until evenly browned and bubbly. Let sit for 10 minutes for juices to thicken, before serving.
I highly recommend serving this tasty treat with your favorite french vanilla ice cream to bring the flavor to the next level. Dig in! This is guaranteed to be one of your family's most requested, super simple recipes.
