Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

This was one of the EASIEST meals I've ever put together - just throw it in the crockpot and let it go. The results are AMAZING! (I took a picture, but it doesn't look great... so I'll try to get another when I make it again.)

Prep Time: 1 hour 15 min
Total Time: 2 hours 20 min
Makes: 24 cupcakes

Cupcakes
1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box

Frosting and Decorations
Yellow food color
1 container (1 lb) Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting
Powdered sugar
48 large yellow, orange and/or red gumdrops
Betty Crocker® black decorating icing (from 4.25-oz tube)
Betty Crocker® red decorating gel (from 0.68-oz tube)

1. Heat oven to 350°F (or 325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for 24 cupcakes, using water, oil and eggs. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.

2. Stir 15 drops food color into frosting until bright yellow. Frost cupcakes.

3. Lightly sprinkle powdered sugar on work surface and rolling pin. Roll 4 gumdrops at a time into flat ovals about 1/8 inch thick. Cut thin sliver off top and bottom of each oval to make rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half crosswise to make 2 squares; cut each square diagonally in half to make 2 triangles.

4. Arrange 8 gumdrop triangles around edge of each cupcake for sun rays. Using small writing tip on black icing tube, pipe sunglasses on each cupcake. Using red gel, pipe smiling mouth on each cupcake. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Store covered in refrigerator.

High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Follow High Altitude directions for cupcakes on cake mix box.

Do-Ahead
Roll and cut sun rays ahead of time so kids can easily assemble the cupcakes.

Success
For brighter yellow frosting, use gel food color instead of liquid.
