Mom's Easy Brownies
2 Sticks of butter
1 3/4 cups of sugar
6 heaping tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder
4 eggs
2 cups Bisquick
Melt butter in saucepan. Add Sugar and cocoa and let cool a bit. Add eggs and incorporate well. Add Bisquick stir well. Pour into greased 9x15 pan. Bake at 350 for 40 min. (Watch edges, oven temps vary)
I have been making this Brownie recipe for 40 years! When I was little I wanted an "Easy Bake Oven". But my Mother would say "No... you can bake something a lot better in a real oven." And I'm glad she taught me to cook real recipes! (I heard Easy Bake Oven cookies turned harder that rocks a few hours after you made them.)

| "The" old "Easy Brownies" recipe card. Use a 8x13 pan! |
I got this Brownie pan from my daughter for Christmas so I had to try my old stand by recipe using the pan. Well, I had forgotten that I had doubled the recipe many years ago from an 8x8 pan to a 8x13 pan and I over flowed the brownies... After they settled a bit it was OK but next time I will only make half the recipe. Here are the photos! Its kinda funny, when I opened the oven to check on them I realized my mistake right away.
