Homemade Banana Ice Cream

Hello all! I have been at the lake all week, and have not had a chance to blog. Thought I would share a Bailey family favorite that is sooo yummy on a hot July day - Homemade Banana Ice Cream. It is awesome! Even if you are not a huge banana fan, you need to try this - the banana flavor is not over the top, just enough to be refreshing. I got this recipe from Mrs. Hazel Parker from Mt. Vernon - thanks Mrs. Hazel for always sharing your wonderful recipes with me!!

Homemade Banana Ice Cream

5 large bananas, peeled

1 Banana Creme Pie mix (you will only need the "filling" packet - discard or use the "topping" packet for another recipe)
2 cups sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla
1 gallon whole milk
pinch of salt

Mash bananas to a liquid consistency; set aside. Using the Banana Creme Pie mix FILLING only, beat with 2 cups of the milk. Add vanilla, salt, and mashed bananas. Pour mixture into ice cream canister, and fill to fill line with rest of milk. Stir mixture several times to make sure it's completely incorporated. Freeze according to freezer directions.
