Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert

Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert is an easy dessert that you can make from a few items in the pantry and freezer at any time of the year. It works well for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother's Day, bridal or baby showers, etc. It is sweet and rich, yet somehow also seems light and refreshing.

I was searching for a recipe that would utilize baked beans and hot dogs, could be made in a slow cooker, be inexpensive and easy, but be more than just beanie wienies when I found several versions of this recipe. Most of the recipes called for the cornbread topper to be made from scratch, but I decided to use a boxed corn muffin mix to simplify it even further. I needed the recipe to be as simple as possible for a cooking demonstration at the food pantry I help run. Plus, I needed to keep the overall cost as low as possible. The cornbread muffin mix was approximately 50 cents a box while the cost of buying cornmeal, flour, baking powder, etc. could be several dollars.

This casserole is easy to make in a crockpot (slow cooker), but it can be cooked in a 350 degree F oven instead. The crockpot is great if you have a few hours until dinner, but it works great in the oven if you’re pressed for time.
