Lemon Cream Cheese Dump Cake

Ingredients:

1 (15.25 oz) box of lemon cake mix
2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
½ cup of sugar
1 (21 oz) can of lemon pie filling
Directions:

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the sugar until smooth and creamy.

Layer the Lemon Pie Filling:
Spread the lemon pie filling evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Add the Cream Cheese Mixture:
Drop spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture over the lemon pie filling. There’s no need to spread it evenly; the uneven layers add texture.

Top with Lemon Cake Mix:
Sprinkle the lemon cake mix evenly over the top of the dish, ensuring it covers as much as possible. Use a fork to distribute and cover any large gaps.

Bake the Cake:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges.

Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature for a tangy, creamy dessert!

This warm and cheesy dip is so perfect with fresh tortilla chips. I love to serve this at parties and on game days.
Espinaca Dip
Ingredients:
1 lb. Velveeta cheese, cut into cubes
16 oz. pkg. cream cheese, cut into cubes (two 8-ounce blocks)
1/2 pt. heavy whipping cream (1 cup)
29 oz. can Rotel diced tomatoes with chilies, drained (two 14.5-ounce cans)
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups frozen spinach, chopped, thawed, and squeezed dry
4 cubes chicken bouillon
1/2 cup 2% milk, add more if needed
1/4 cup jalapeno, chopped, to desired heat (most online sites recommend ½ cup – I use about ¼ cup)
Directions:
Place all ingredients in a crockpot.
Heat through until melted and well combined.
Serve with tortilla chips or strips.
Notes:
Be sure not to overcook this. One or two hours in the crockpot should do it. Then turn the crockpot to warm.
This dip is also good with veggie dippers.
