Two weeks ago, I had the amazing opportunity to join my blogging buddies, The Country Cook and Southern Plate, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee for the Chuckwagon Cookoff.  Y’all!  What an amazing time we had!  First off, the cookoff was amazing.  It was an incredible gathering of professional chuckwagon teams from across the country.  And let me tell you, the food was amazing.  I am so glad we didn’t have to judge.  There’s no way I could have picked a winner in that group.  Everything was just delicious.  And this was one of those events where everyone was just so nice.  I feel like those types of event are growing fewer and farther between.  I mean you couldn’t have had a gathering of nicer folks.
So much fun at the Chuckwagon Cookoff!

We also got the chance to be a little silly and visit the Hollywood Wax Museum, WonderWorks, and topped the weekend off with the The Hatfield and McCoy Dinner Show  That was some seriously amazing talent and some sho’ nuff good food!  The fried chicken was amazing!  And no trip to Pigeon Forge is complete without a trip to The Old Mill, and the Apple Barn.  WE also discovered this great local place called The Local Goat.  Everything for the restaurant is sourced locally and the food was amazing.  We had Fried Deviled Eggs and I tried a burger topped with bacon, fried bananas, and peanut butter!  It was delicious!
Silliness around Pigeon Forge

We stayed in the most amazing cabin at Eagle’s Ridge Resort.  It had so much room!  Three bedrooms, 3 baths, a game room, and a huge great room with the living room, dining room, and kitchen.  The kitchen was fully equipped and would be great for families looking to be able to cook a few meals.  There were also 2 huge balconies overlooking the mountains.  It was the perfect place to sip coffee and watch the sun rise.

One of the recipes at the cookoff  that just really caught our eye was an amazing Cherry Cobbler in a cast iron skillet.  We just knew we had to recreate it.  And we had to make it easy – that’s what we do.  So that’s just what we did.

This recipe only calls for 4 ingredients and can be put together in about 10 minutes.  The crunchy cobbler topping is the real star.  I just know y’all are going to love it.  It works perfectly with any other pie filling too – peach, blackberry, blueberry, etc!

    Can you use fresh blueberries. If so, how much. Thank you.

      You can, but you’d probably want to make a blueberry pie filling with the berries first.

        Open 3 cans of “light” cherry pie filling. Dump one in a bowl. Rinse the other two. Mix all 3 together. I always add 1/4 tsp. almond extract. Continue with the rest of your recipe.
        Hope this helps.

          Almond extract adds extra kick to cherries and chocolate alike.

    can you make this with a box of Yellow cake Mix

      You can, but standard mixes are larger in size. If you have a food scale, you can measure out 9 ounces of another mix and use that in place fo the Jiffy mix.

    Do you make the cake mix as directed?
    Then add butter and cinnamon?

      No, you’ll only need the ingredients called for in the recipe. The cobbler part is just simply the dry cake mix, butter, and cinnamon mixed together.

    I am new with a cast iron skillet do I need to pre-heat the skillet prior to putting the cherries in?

      No, there’s no need to pre heat the skillet in this case.

    Hi Stacey – I followed the directions but the cake mixture didn’t crisp. Was I supposed to mix the cake recipe according to the box ( I did not do that)? My cast iron skillet is a large, could that have made a difference? I’m at a loss. 🙁

      No, you did right. This doesn’t get super crisp. It’s more cakey than crisp. Hope you enjoyed it, regardless. 🙂

        Try adding cherries then use enough dry cake mix only to cover all the cherries in the skillet by about 1/2 1 to3/4 inche. Then melt enough butter to cover the entire surface bake 350 for 30 mins…stop. turn on the broiler…watch very carefully it will burn quickly. Remove when desired liking.

    I found you and Southern Plate through Brandie’s Country Cook Blog… Love all 3 of y’all sooo much! And I laughed so hard at the “Mean Comments” video y’all did! The 3 of you should seriously consider taking your act to a Comedy Club. I’m not real big on cherries, which is weird, cause I love cherry flavored anything… But I’m definitely going to try this with peaches! Thank you for all the awesome recipes sweetie, can’t wait to try this one! <3

    As I don’t have a skillet, would it be alright baked in a 9 X 13 glass dish?
    Looks yummy! Thanks.
