Make it Monday...

I'm a little late in posting my recipe for Carla's recipe carnival but I realized this recipe would work since we are having it tomorrow night. This week's theme was Meat dishes. My recipe is called BBQ Cups. It's a 4 ingredient recipe from a book by almost the same title. I got the book from my granny for my wedding and it has been a wonderful little cookbook since all the recipes have only 4 ingredients.

1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 c barbecue sauce
1 can refrigerator biscuits
3/4 c grated cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brown meat, drain. Add barbecue sauce and set aside. Place biscuits in ungreased muffin cups, pressing dough up sides of edge of cup. Spoon meat mixture into cups. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 12 minutes. Serves 4 to 5.

Make it Monday...

or Tuesday if you're sick & have to call your Mom for the recipe :) So yesterday Carla's theme was snacks and Chex Mix has always been a favorite with us. So after calling my mom to get the recipe, here it is:

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
1 stick (1/2 c.) melted butter
1 1/4 tsp. seasoned salt
4 1/2 tsp. worchestire sauce
Mix together.
Now for the next part my mom takes a big measuring cup/bowl and layers the following ingredients in the order listed:
1 c. peanuts
1 c. pretzels
8 c. Chex mix (any variety you wish)

Pour the dry ingredients into a pan and stir to mix. The pan should be larger than 9x13 or there won't be enough room to mix. Cook at 15 min. intervals (stop every 15 min. to mix) for 1 hour. Enjoy!

Today's theme on Carla's blog is: Breakfast. So my contribution is a recipe I found on cooks.com for Bisquick Butter Chunk Cinnamon Rolls.

1/4 c. cold butter
2 1/2 c. Bisquick (or any brand) baking mix
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
2 tbsp. butter, softened
3 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Glaze

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Grease square pan, 8x8x2. Cut cold butter into 1/4" cubes. Toss baking mix and cubes until coated. Beat milk and egg; stir into butter mixture. Turn dough onto cloth-covered board generously dusted with baking mix; roll to coat. (I just used my counter covered in baking mix and it worked fine)

Fold and knead 10 times; roll into rectangle, 15"x8". Spread with soft butter. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Roll up tightly, beginning at 15" side. Pinch edge into roll. Cut into 12 slices with sharp knife. Place cut sides down in pan.

Bake until golden, 15 minutes; cool 15 minutes. Drizzle with glaze. Makes 1 dozen rolls.

For the glaze, I used 1/4 c. powdered sugar & 2 tsp. warm water.
