Simple and made with just 4 ingredients, this old fashioned strawberry cobbler recipe is mouthwateringly delicious.

I found this fruit cobbler recipe in my White Trash Cookbook several years ago. I have always made it with peaches, until 2 weeks ago I made a blueberry cobbler with it.

This blueberry cobbler turned out so delicious that I decided to roll the dice and try this 4 ingredient cobbler with strawberries. Friends, I again hit the jackpot. Yes, another winning cobbler.

Tools Used To Bake Simple Strawberry Cobbler

Southern Cobbler (Perfect for church potluck)

After indulging (well maybe over indulging) in this southern strawberry cobbler and serving it to friends, I realized it took me back to potlucks in the 70’s and 80’s at the Southern Baptist Church in which I grew up.

Oh my, these potlucks were huge events at the Baptist church. Yes, the Southern Baptist could party with a potluck. Minus the alcohol, these Baptist Bar Mitzvahs had it all.’

There was always a long line of tables strung together in the Fellowship Hall with meats (always some KFC), salads, casseroles, deviled eggs (devil was acceptable as long as it was filling a boiled egg white), sweet tea and always the sacred desserts, we all yearned for, at the end.

Yes, at the end of the long line of tables, amongst the other sinful yum that could all lead us astray, I could just see this strawberry cobbler. It fit perfectly there in its 13×9 pan.

Not only did it look like it fit in, it tasted like it fit in. Oh, the sweetness and juiciness of the strawberries topped with that buttery, slightly sweet crust was pure church potluck heaven (unfortunately, there were always a couple of dishes that were pure potluck purgatory).

Just curious, do any of you have the delightful experience of church potlucks? If so, please leave a comment about this below. I would really love to hear it.

Lazy Man Strawberry Cobbler

Not only is this yummy strawberry cobbler worthy of a church potluck, it is incredibly easy to make. So easy a super lazy man (or woman) could do it.

It has just 4 simple ingredients: sugar, all purpose flour, butter and strawberries.

Make a crust out of the first 3 ingredients, top the strawberries with it, bake and indulge. EASY, PEASY!

Strawberry Cobbler With Frozen Strawberries

JUST DO IT!

I used fresh (well, store bought fresh) strawberries for this strawberry cobbler, but fruit cobblers are just as good with frozen fruit. I used frozen blueberries in my blueberry cobbler and it was amazing.

Using frozen strawberries will produce a more liquidy layer, but it will still be an incredibly delicious cobbler.

Can You Freeze Strawberry Cobbler?

Yes, and it’s every bit as delicious when you get it out of the freezer.

To Freeze Strawberry Cobbler:

Make sure your strawberry cobbler is cooled. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil. It can freeze up to 1 month.
You can also place the strawberry cobbler in a freezer safe food storage container up to 1 month.
Defrost in the refrigerator overnight before reheating in the oven.

Why Make This Simple Southern Strawberry Cobbler?

Because, it’s got a high ROI (Return On Investment). You invest such little time and effort in this lazy man’s strawberry cobbler and then get such a yummy, succulent cobbler in return. It is so worth baking this again and again and again…….
