Banana Pudding, So Simple...

I have never made or eaten Banana Pudding before.It is such a quick and simple prep. I used the instant Jello Vanilla Pudding, I could have used the cooked variety of Jello Pudding or even a scratch pudding, however that defeats the simplicity of this desert. Half the beauty of it is the speed and ease of creating it.

You will need two of the large boxes of Jello Vanilla pudding mix (I use the instant) 6 cups of cold milk. 3 Large fresh bananas. A regular sized tub of whipped topping. 1 box 11 oz box of vanilla wafers. I happen to be a big fan of Glad ware. The containers are handy, stack-able and you have a tight seal on the container. If the glad ware gets lots or you end of giving it away... no need to cry, these items are affordable and very replaceable.

Prepare the pudding according to the instructions on the box (add the milk and whip it together for two minutes). While the pudding rests for a few minutes, slice your bananas up thinly, then layer the bottom of your pudding pan with a single layer or vanilla wafers. Top generously with pudding and spread evenly, add a layer of sliced bananas, now spread evenly with a layer of whipped topping, repeat the layers ending with a layer of pudding. Place dollops of whipped topping on top. Sprinkle the entire pan with the crumble cookie remains from the bottom of the box. Seal and refrigerated. This dish has to hang out in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before it can be eaten. So, here is my first crack at it... very easy, not rocket science. Apparently it is a staple dish in the south. I am such a damn yankee!!!
