Get in the team spirit! Use candy-coated chocolate candies that match your team colors.

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Swap in Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix for Devil’s Food Cake in this recipe. Be sure to follow the directions on the box for the amounts of water, vegetable oil and eggs to make 22 cupcakes.

To help hold the cupcakes in place, if needed, use your icing spatula to dab a little frosting on bottom of each cupcake before placing on serving tray.

Wrapping foil around the bottom of the pan helps to keep anything from dripping out while baking.

It’s best to store the cheesecake in the springform pan until ready to serve. The pan will protect it from getting bumped in the refrigerator.

Slice the cheesecake using a hot, wet knife, wiping the knife blade clean in between slices.

What is the best cheesecake flavor?

Adding either heavy cream or sour cream to the cheesecake layer will help create a smoother texture. But keep in mind that heavy cream may mask the tangy cream cheese flavor while sour cream will help enhance it. In our Best Cheesecake recipe, we add sour cream to the top layer only, but all that nice tang from the cream cheese still comes through.

Is heavy cream or sour cream better for cheesecake?

Yes, you will want to make sure your cream cheese is softened before using it to make this Best Cheesecake recipe. The best way to soften cream cheese is to take it out of the fridge, and let it sit on your countertop for an hour before using. But if you forget or are short on time, don’t worry! A delicious homemade cheesecake is still in your future. To quickly soften your cream cheese, place it unwrapped on a microwave-safe plate and microwave it for 10 seconds. Repeat a few times, checking the texture and temp after each time. Watch it closely! Microwaves vary, and the cream cheese can turn into a messy puddle very quickly.

Should cream cheese be room temp when making cheesecake?

First of all, make sure that your baked cheesecake is completely cool. Then, with the cheesecake still in the springform pan, cover and refrigerate it for 3 to 5 days.

What’s the best way to store cheesecake?

The very first mention of cheesecake is from Ancient Greece. A physician in the 5th century BC wrote a book on making cheesecakes. It wasn’t until about the 18th century that the version of cheesecake that we know and love today emerged. It was around this time that Europeans began to use eggs instead of yeast, which gave cheesecake a more dessert-like quality. As the Europeans immigrated to America, they brought their cheesecake recipes along with them, and the rest, as they say, is history!

What’s the history of cheesecake?

New York-style cheesecake typically has a denser texture than regular cheesecake thanks to the addition of more cream cheese. Other ingredients like extra eggs, egg yolks and sour cream may be added to give New York-style cheesecake a smooth texture.

What is the difference between New York-style cheesecake and regular cheesecake?

The top of your cheesecake may crack for several different reasons. The most common reason is overmixing, which can incorporate too much air into the batter. Once it’s baked, the air bubbles will burst, causing the top to crack. To help prevent cracking, make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing your batter. Also, don’t forget to set that timer! Overbaking or opening your oven door before your cake is ready can also cause cracking. Finally, after removing your cake from the oven, be sure to let it cool at room temp before placing it in the fridge to chill.

Green bean casserole is one of the easiest dishes to bake for holidays or potlucks, and this green bean casserole recipe needs only a few ingredients.

To make sure your baking dish holds 1.5 quarts (6 cups), use a liquid measuring cup to pour water into the dish until it's full. There should be enough room for the green beans to not completely fill the dish.

Green Bean Casserole with Frozen Green Beans: Frozen French-style green beans can be substituted for the canned beans. Give frozen beans a quick rinse under cool water in a colander and shake off excess water before mixing with the soup and milk. Alternatively, 2 bags (1 lb each) frozen cut or whole green beans can be substituted. Cook as directed on bag for minimum time. Drain; stir into soup mixture. If prepping ahead of time, cover tightly and store overnight in refrigerator before baking. In Step 2, bake about 30 minutes or until beans are tender.

<h3> Combine Green Beans, Soup and Milk </h3>
 Since this recipe uses canned beans, be sure to drain them after opening the can. We always recommend checking expiration dates and inspecting cans for any dents to ensure quality. Break out the casserole dish and combine your green beans, cream of mushroom soup and milk while heating your oven to 350°F. There’s no need to grease the dish beforehand, as the ingredients will provide enough moisture and fat to prevent sticking. 

<h3> Bake and Add Fried Onions </h3>
 Place your dish in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, topping your green bean casserole with those tasty fried onions for the last 5 minutes. Add as many or as few as you like—but we recommend just under 3 ounces, which you’ll find in the smaller store-bought containers.
