Impossible Pies

Have you ever made an impossible pie? They are good and they are usually pretty easy. The recipes might LOOK like they take some doing, but really, they don't! They are also easily adaptable.

Did you know you can use a smallish plastic basket to set your recipe ingredients into and have at hand when the time comes for popping it in the oven? Mix the dry ingredients for the "impossible" part into a baggie or container. Then add the can goods or what ever is reasonably possible to the basket and you'll have less to grab when you are ready to make it. You can also mix wet ingredients together and put into your casserole dish. Then all you'll need to do (usually later that day or the next) is mix the "impossible" ingredients and finish it off quickly.

Below this cute little divider are 2 recipes for EASY impossible pies I'd like to try.

IMPOSSIBLE PUMPKIN PIE

1 1/3 c Milk
3 tb Butter or margarine - softened
4 Eggs
1/2 c Sugar (You can use Splenda or Truvia!)
1/2 c Buttermilk biscuit mix
1 c Canned pumpkin
Pumpkin pie spice
Whipped cream (optional)

Combine milk, butter, eggs, sugar, biscuit mix, pumpkin and pie spice to taste in blender. Blend until mixed.

Turn into greased 9-inch pie pan and bake at 400F 25 to 35 minutes, or until knife inserted halfway between center and rim comes out clean. Cool.
Serve with whipped cream, if desired.


Impossible Bacon Breakfast Pie

1 pound bacon
1 can chopped green chiles
1 cup grated Monterey jack cheese
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup Bisquick baking mix
6 ounces sour cream
3 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

Brown, drain and crumble bacon. Put in bottom of 11 x 7 greased dish. Top with onion and cheese. Put rest in blender for 1 min. Pour into pan. Bake at 350ºF until tests done with knife (35-45 min).

I think you can get away with this one for any meal!


Do you think you'd like one of these? I REALLY do need to get some MYO bisquick mix made up! Today would be good!

Enjoy!
