Blueberry muffin rice krispies..whaaaaat?!

Yup. That's right. Super delicious and super easy. I have a lot of friends that claim not to know how to cook or bake. I don't understand how, but either way, I promised an easy dessert recipe for all those who are...umm..domestically challenged lets just say. ;) Here it is..


-6 cups rice krispies cereal
-5 cups or 1 large bag of regular white marshmallows. (Miniature or whatever, doesn't matter)
-4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or imitation vanilla extract
-1 box dry blueberry muffin mix. (I used Jiffy)

Measure rice krispies in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Grease cake pan with cooking spray.

Melt butter over med to medium low heat.Once melted, add marshmallows.

Stir continuously until a nice fluffy consustancy. *very important to keep stirring or it will burn.*

Remove from heat and immediately stir in
 dry muffin mix.

Add mixture to cereal and stir until combined evenly.

Spread in prepared cake pan and  press out evenly. (*tip, you may want to spray your hands with cooking spray before handling since it is super sticky.)

Allow to harden, approx 2 hours.
I also melted cream cheese and mixed powdered sugar to spread on top. Tasted like cheesecake. So, omg, you just kinda made muffins, cheesecake and rice krispies.

Now your list of culinary abilities no longer consists of just Ramen and toast. Go you!!

Voila!

You asked- here it is. Finally. Sorry everyone for not posting in forever. Busy busy busy. I have actually been working with my sisters on our new business venture. Exciting! Stay tuned for details!

1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
1 half large yellow or white onion, chopped finely
1 large carrot, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (you can use whatever oil you have on hand if you don't have olive)
1 cup sauerkraut, drained and squeezed to almost dry
1/2 cup diced reduced- fat Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons ketchup, divided
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs( you can use rye if you have it but I didn't have any and I like to keep it healthier)
1 lb ground sirloin or leanest ground beef you can find.
Also, if you are using ground turkey or chicken, make sure it is a lb and a half.
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon low-fat mayonnaise

Preheat your oven 375
Place onion and carrot in a food processor until finely chopped.
Saute mixture in oil until onion is translucent.
Add sauerkraut, Saute another few minutes.
Add half of ketchup.
Transfer to mixing bowl.
**make sure to allow mixture to cool.(approx 10-15 min) Very important or consistency will be all messed up!!
Now, add chopped cheese, meat, salt, then egg, and finally the breadcrumbs.
Press into a lightly greased loaf pan.
In a seperate bowl, mix remaining ketchup, and mayo.
Spread over uncooked loaf and sprinkle with pickles.
Bake 45 mins.
Enjoy!!!
