Peach & Berry Cobbler

This is such an easy, thow-together recipe....I basically bake it in a 9x13 pan.  When I realized that I didn't have enough peaches, I threw in some frozen berries..and it worked!!

1-2 (big) cans of peaches
1 bag frozen raspberries
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick of butter.

Preheat oven to350*F.  Spray the bottom of a 9x13 pan with oil/EVOO/canola oil.  Mix the peaches and berries in the bottom of the pan.  Sprinkle the cake mix over the entire thing...and then cube the butter and place over the top.

Start it in the oven at 20 minutes.  (Normally 30 minutes)
Watch for the edges to brown and the middle/edges to bubble.  Do not let it overcook!
