Lemon Crumble Bar Ingredients
- Crumble Ingredients
- Boxed Lemon Cake Mix: A convenient, pre-mixed base that yields an incredibly soft, moist, and chewy texture with minimal effort. It saves prep time compared to measuring dry ingredients from scratch.
- Oats (1 ½ cups): Both old fashioned and quick cook oats work well in this recipe. Old fashioned oats have a chewier texture, while quick oats will make slightly softer, less chewy bars.
- Salted Butter (1/2 cup, softened): Adds flavor to the crumble.
- Egg (1 large): Used to bind the other ingredients in the crumble.
- Filling Ingredients
- Eggs (2 large): Binds the other filling ingredients together and provides structure for the finished bars.
- Lemon Frosting (16oz can): Enhances the bright citrus flavor and provides a creamy, sweet tartness to the bars.
- Cream Cheese (4oz, softened): Adds a rich, creamy texture and a tangy flavor that balances the sharp tartness of the lemon.
- Daisy Sour Cream (1/2 cup): Provides a rich, velvety layer between the crust and topping that softens the tart lemon flavor while adding creamy richness. It keeps the bars moist, luscious, and deliciously bakery-worthy.
Substitutions, Variations, and Tips
- Use parchment paper with 1-2” overhand to line your pan for easy, clean removal and easy cleaning.
- Press the crumble bottom firmly and evenly into the corners to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake the crust until it is golden brown before adding the filling to ensure it stays crisp. A properly pre-baked crust acts as a barrier, preventing the lemon filling from making it mushy.
- A glass pan works best. Using a glass pan can prevent a metallic taste that sometimes accompanies lemon recipes in metal pans.
- Adding fresh lemon zest to the crumble or crust will enhance the lemon flavor.
- Avoid overbeating the filling to limit air bubbles.
- Chill completely before cutting with a hot, clean knife for the sharpest edges. Never cut hot bars, as they will fall apart.
- Make the day ahead for easier cutting.
- Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3–4 days. May be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, wrap cooled bars tightly in plastic wrap and then place into a zip-top bag with the air removed.
How to Make Lemon Crumble Bars
- Preheat the oven to 350° Spray 9×13” pan with nonstick spray.
- Mix the cake mix, oats, butter and 1 egg. Reserve 2 cups for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into the bottom of pan.
- Blend frosting, cream cheese, sour cream, and remaining 2 eggs and pour over pressed crumbs.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mix over the top and bake for 45-55 minutes. Cool to room temperature and then store in the refrigerator.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Loaded Grilled Potato Ingredients
- Baby Red Potatoes (3 ½ cups, cut into wedges): Great for grilling due to their firm, waxy texture that holds up well to heat without falling apart. They have less starch than yellow or white potatoes with creamy flesh.
- Olive Oil (1 tablespoon): Enhances the flavor of the potatoes and keeps them from sticking to the foil.
- Seasoning Salt (1 teaspoon): Any flavor of seasoning salt will work well. It enhances the flavor of the potatoes.
- Garlic Powder (1/2 teaspoon): Provides concentrated garlic flavor that won’t burn like fresh garlic under high heat.
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese (1 cup): Sharp cheddar is ideal for its strong tangy, nutty flavor, but any type of cheddar will work well.
- Chopped Bacon (1/4 cup): Delivers a salty, smoky component and complements the sharpness of the cheese.
- Sliced Green Onion (3 tablespoons): Supplies a mild, sweet onion flavor that pairs with the other ingredients.
- Daisy Sour Cream (1/2 cup): The perfect topping for grilled potatoes. The cool, creamy texture balances the smoky heat while adding rich flavor to every bite. It melts slightly over the warm potatoes, creating a smooth and satisfying contrast to the crispy edges and tender centers. Its tangy freshness pairs deliciously with cheese, bacon, and green onions.
Substitutions, Variations, and Tips
- Baby yellow potatoes may be used in place of or in addition to the red potatoes. Or feel free to use larger potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Any neutral flavored oil, such as canola or vegetable oil, may be used in place of olive oil. Nonstick cooking spray may also be used, just make sure to toss the potatoes to evenly coat to prevent sticking to the foil.
- Onion powder may be substituted for the garlic powder.
- Any flavor of seasoning will work well. Feel free to experiment with your favorites.
- Any melting cheese may be used in place of cheddar. Shredded Gouda, Monterey Jack, Colby, Swiss, or Gruyere are all great choices. For a funkier taste, goat cheese or feta will work well, though they won’t melt the same way as other choices.
- Prepared bacon bits or precooked bacon strips are great shortcuts. ¼ cup of bacon equals about 4 strips of cooked bacon.
- To cook fresh bacon, arrange two paper towels on a microwave-safe plate and line with slices of bacon (not touching), place two more towels on top and microwave on high for 1 minute per slice (thinner bacon will take less time than thicker bacon). Continue microwaving at 30 second intervals until desired crispiness is reached.
- Any finely diced onion will work in place of green onions. White and red onions will be hotter, while yellow will be sweet. All will be slightly more pungent than the green onion so adjust accordingly if you’d prefer a milder onion flavor. Chives and scallions may also be substituted 1:1.
- Enjoy the heat? Try adding fresh or canned jalapenos, or chili crisps to the packets. Or try dashing with hot sauce once the potatoes are off the grill.
How to Make Loaded Grilled Potatoes
- Heat the grill. Coat 4 squares of heavy-duty foil (about 12”) with nonstick cooking spray.
- Arrange the potatoes in the center of the foil and drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the seasoning salt and garlic powder. Top with cheese and bacon. Wrap the foil around potatoes.
- Grill, covered, over medium heat until the potatoes are tender (about 30 to 35 minutes).
- Carefully open packets and sprinkle with green onions. Serve topped with sour cream.
