Chocolate Banana Coffeecake

I wanted to make the kids a cake tonight but I didn't have the complete ingredients to any cakes so I just made one up. It was surprisingly good.

Chocolate Banana Coffeecake
2 bananas
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 pkg chocolate instant pudding
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg

In bowl mix bananas with mixer. Add cake mix, pudding, eggs, oil and mix for 5 minutes.

In a separate bowl mix graham crackers, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Pour half the cake mixture into bundt pan then pour sugar mixture on top. Cover with the remaining cake mixture and back 60 minutes at 325 degrees.

2 boxes mac and cheese
1 can Rotel

1 16 oz can tomato paste

Make both boxes of macaroni according to directions including the butter and milk.
