Peach Dump Cake

I've got a good bunch of kiddos.  I'm very thankful for them.  They helped bring in groceries last week after a shopping trip with Dad.  Everything made it safely inside, except one large can of peaches.  It dropped and rolled down our driveway.  Poor can of peaches was badly dented and needed to be used right away.

I thought it would be fun to turn those peaches into a treat for my helpers.  So, I went to one of my favorite recipe sites, Allrecipes, and found this recipe for Peach Dump Cake.  It looks super easy.  How much easier can it get than to just dump everything into one pan and bake?

1 (18.25 oz.) box yellow cake mix

cooking spray

3. Bake in preheated oven until top is golden brown, approx. 40-45 mins.

The Results...
Sweet and peachy.  This turns out a lot like a peach cobbler.  We all thought it was tasty.  My 8 yr. old didn't care for the mushy peaches, though.  She ate the crust on top and left the peaches in her bowl.  We ate this plain, but a scoop of ice cream on the side would also be delicious.  I also liked that this recipe only creates ONE messy pan!  Super easy, super tasty and not super messy, win-win-win!
