I have made the above fruitcake and it is not the one that I used before – off the Bisquick box. The one I want was crusty in texture and not cake like. It actually baked roughly in peaks. Could you send to tell me how I can again get that recipe. Many people miss this being on the box. Thnx

Thanks so much for putting these recipes up! I do wish the companies would archive all their old recipes, so we would not lose the tried and true.
As for the “Fruitcake” I’m assuming JA is referring to what we called short cake. My mom didnt knead the dough, I think she just plopped big globs of the stiff batter on the cookie sheet, and baked as directed. Pretty sure she used the same –erhm, “technique” when making the biscuits. The only smooth biscuit she ever made popped right out of the Poppin Fresh blue cardboard can. Canned Biscuits! Ew.

I am looking for the recipe that used to be on the Bisquick box – it was ground beef with cream of mushroom soup rolled up in Bisquick that had been rolled out. It was topped with cheese and cream of mushroom soup.

Published 30 March, 2009 in 12:21 pm. I just saw this, 11 years too late, if this is the 1973 Fruitcake you wanted. I couldn’t copy the recipe so I borrowed a very similar Betty Crocker Jeweled Fruitcake and put in the info from the 1973 Bisquick Holly Day Fruitcake.

1 1/2 cups pitted dates (8 ounces)

2 1/2 cups Brazil nuts (11 ounces)

1 cup red and green candied pineapple, cut up(6 ounces)

1 cup red and green maraschino cherries, drained

1 cup Bisquick baking mix

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

3 eggs

Heat oven to 300 F.

1. Mix all ingredients thoroughly. Leave nuts and fruits whole, except for candied pineapple).

2. Spread mixture evenly in greased aluminum foil-lined loaf pan,(9x5x3 inches).

3. Bake 1 hour 45 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove from pan; cool. Wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil; store in cool place.

There was a delicious applesauce cake and it also had a recipe for brown butter frosting. I cannot find my little pamphlet anywhere. I believe it also had a recipe for fish batter in that book I’ve had that book for maybe over 30 years. Anyone have these recipes? Thank you so much

There was a casserole dish…one half had chicken coated in crushed Ritz crackers, and butter, and the other half had Bisquick Drop biscuits. Then it had peach halves put on top of the chicken with cloves stuck in the peaches. It was so good and rich. The bottom of the drop biscuits had about 1/4″ to 1/2″ of butter and chicken juice soaked into them.
