Raspberry Bars by Bisquick

2 cups Original Bisquick® mix
1 cup quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup raspberry spreadable fruit, jam or preserves

1. Heat oven to 400°F. Grease square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Mix Bisquick mix, oats and brown sugar in large bowl. Cut in butter, using fork or pastry blender, until mixture is crumbly.
2. Press half of the crumbly mixture in pan. Spread fruit over crumbly mixture to within 1/4 inch of edges. Top with remaining crumbly mixture; press gently into fruit.
3. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until light brown; cool. For 24 bars, cut into 6 rows by 4 rows

In my opinion: What a super simple recipe! Who doesn't keep Bisquick on hand?

These are in my oven now so check back for my review.

Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie

Our wonderful friend Julia not only coordinated meals for us right after Abby was born, but she also brought us this dish. I had seen this recipe before but hadn't made it. I definitely recommend it if you are looking for something quick and child-friendly. My picky eaters liked it.
