Cooking lesson 101

[pomtzu]

Delicious with apple slices, butter and cinnamon; or raisins, butter and nuts; or leftover meatloaf and spaghetti sauce; or cooked chicken, green peppers and onions with a teaspoon of alfredo sauce; or just about anything else!

That apple idea is great!

I need a quick dinner tomorrow night, and I'm going to make the sausage and egg ones with a side of applesauce, since I never got to make any over the weekend. No reason they have to be for breakfast only!

Cooking 102 will come after next trip.. I have another recipe that knocks their socks off that they can't get enough of that is as simple and easy to make as these. You'll slap you forehead and say "Now, WHY didn't I think of that?" It too, is a grab and run item..

I am thrilled that so many gave it a try and I am loving everyones ideas on what else to put in them.. I LOVE the left over meatloaf idea and the cooked chicken, green peppers and onions with alfredo sauce. I love to find ways to "re-dress" leftovers.. The left over steak and egg one would be a BIG hit!

I LOVE sharing my recipes and ideas and getting others to do the same. I met 2 other cooks when I stayed in the training center in Paducah after I got off the boat and that is about all we did, share recipes and ideas..

Thanks Laura!!

I made them this weekend and OMG they are almost all gone (There are just the two of us...) Needless to say hubby loved them and I love them too. They're great for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I am going to experiment with different fillings

P.S. Pillsbury Grands come in rolls of 4 - I used 2 rolls with mild Italian sausage, 7 eggs and medium cheddar - purrfect!

Whens Cooking 102????

Laura, I'd like to try these too, but in Denmark we don't have that bisquit dough. I talked to a girl from N.Y. - she works in my local supermarket and she suggested this recipe:

On the site, there are more bisquit recipees - which one do you think will fit? Scroll down a bit!

And I'm not sure what vegetable shortening is?

And I'm not sure what vegetable shortening is?

Lard it use to be called (came from hogs).. It is the hard white grease/shortening. It is sold here under the Crisco name and comes in a can, as I said it is hard and white but melts when you heat it.

You could use ANY biscuit recipe, roll dough, or canned biscuit.. I have used all of them and just like the results of the Grands the best. I used my roll dough recipe until I gave the grands a try but that takes the ease and quickness out of making them. I still prefer the roll dough recipe for some things.

Bengalz- Cooking 102 will come after next trip, see 2 posts up...

I don't have a rolling pin to roll out my biscuits.

What else could I use?

[Laura's Babies]

I'm not quite sure of what I could use instead.

ChrisH- Some kind of bread dough, premade or home made.

I don't have a rolling pin to roll out my biscuits.

What else could I use?

Scooter's Mom- For many years I didn't have a rolling pin until I found one at Goodwill, I used a glass. Any glass that is even top to bottom will do.

Thanks Laura. I'm having this tonight I think.

I bought maple flavored sausage (my favorite) to put in 'em.

Just a thought. If I buy a can of biscuits from the refrigerated section I end up throwing part of the dough away because I can't use the whole can. Now they are in bags in the freezer aisle too (look by frozen pie crusts) so I can just take out and unfreeze what I need.

This would be yummy with sloppy joe inside it. I'm the only dork on the planet who eats sloppy joe open face, with a knife and fork, because I don't like my fingers all sticky. This would be neater!

Leftover Thanksgiving turkey and a piece of Swiss cheese... if I leave out the sausage and put some cheese in with the egg, it would be meatless... Hmmm... when is lesson 102?

[Laura's Babies]

Cooking lesson 102 comes after next trip out.. I gurantee it will be a real winner and everyone will be SO impressed with how smart you were to make them and want the recipe! Is that tempting or what?

Hey Laura,
I love to cook when I have the time. Unfortunately that's not very often between my work schedule and trying to get up to see Mom on weekends. This looks and sounds wonderful and we can't wait to give them a try. Don't know if this would work for you, Mom used to make them when I was growing up:

Mix some ground beef (for us I use a pound) with egg, salt, pepper, onion, whatever you like.

Follow the recipe for biscuits on the Bisquick box. Roll it out on a floured surface, then spread the meat mixture evenly on the rolled out dough

Roll it up like a jelly-roll then cut into 1" slices. Put the slices on a cookie sheet then bake them according to the Bisquick directions until golden brown.

They're great hot or cold plus they're portable!

I went shopping yesterday and sadly I couldn't find the Grands biscuits or any other biscuits.....only the croissants. I'll have to try another store. I hope they sell the Grands up here in KA-NA-DA.
