These tart crunchy lemon bars are a hit at family picnics, church suppers and in field lunches. They're easy to bake and carry.


Ingredients:


1 package Yellow cake mix (18-1/4 ounces)

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 package Cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 1 egg and oil; stir until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup for topping. Press remaining mixture into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
