Sheet-Pan Brownies from a Mix

Dessert for a crowd! My sister Michelle came up with this recipe. From memory she can quickly rattle off the ingredients and just as quickly mix them up.

Makes a 12×18-inch pan

  • 2 brownie mixes (family size—about 18 oz. each)
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup cooking oil
  • 1/2 cup water
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Coat a 12×18-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Pour 2 brownie mixes, 5 eggs, 1 cup oil, and 1/2 cup water into a Kitchenaid bowl or large mixing bowl.
  4. Stir ingredients with a rubber spatula to combine. Using the paddle attachment of the mixer, or electric beaters, mix batter on medium speed for one minute.
  5. Use the rubber spatula to scrape the batter into prepared pan. Smooth out the batter to distribute it evenly.
  6. Bake for about 22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few fudgy crumbs on it. Watch carefully the last few minutes.
  7. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack. Cool and frost if desired.
