Ingredients

1 pkg (8) refrigerated biscuits
16 oz. ground breakfast sausage
2 1/2 cups milk
3 tbsp butter
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Instructions

Brown sausage meat, breaking up lumps. Drain and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut each biscuit into quarters. 

Place HALF of the cut up biscuits on the bottom of a 1.5 quart casserole dish.

Bake for 10 minutes. 

Meanwhile, prepare sausage gravy by melting butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. 

Add flour (make a roux) and whisk so there are no lumps. Cook roux over medium heat about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. While whisking, add milk slowly, making sure there are no lumps. Add salt and pepper. Cook sauce until it begins to thicken. 

Add cooked sausage.

Remove baking dish with partially-baked biscuits from the oven. Pour sausage gravy on top of biscuit crust. Place remaining biscuits on top of the casserole; return to oven and bake an additional 25-30 minutes, or until top biscuits are golden brown.

Chicken Pot Pie Cupcakes

Great concept for lunches, picnics or anytime you want lunch "on the go."

This recipe comes from Betty Crocker and loaded with convenience foods for fast preparation.  I will be using it at a guide, using fresh foods instead of the higher priced convenience foods.

Love the possibilities using this concept of cupcakes!

Nacho Pot Pie

Chicken Pot Pie gets a makeover in this semi-homemade recipe that comes from Betty Crocker's website.  I love the idea of the crunchy tortilla chip topping.

There is lots of room for variation or ways to make it more economical.

Ingredients

3 cups Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)

1/2 cup butter or margarine

2 medium carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices

2 shallots, finely chopped (1/2 cup)

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

2 tablespoons Old El Paso® taco seasoning mix (from 1-oz package)

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup whipping cream

2 cups shredded deli rotisserie chicken (from 2-lb chicken)

1 can (15 oz) Progresso® black beans, drained, rinsed

1 bag (12 oz) Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers® Niblets® frozen corn,   thawed

4 cups crushed tortilla chips

1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)

Directions

Heat oven to 375°F. In 4-quart saucepan, heat broth over medium-high heat. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.

In Dutch oven, melt butter with 2 tablespoons of the warm broth over medium-high heat. Add carrots, shallots, garlic, taco seasoning, pepper and salt. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender. Gradually add flour, stirring with whisk. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in whipping cream and remaining warm broth. Heat to boiling; add chicken, beans and corn. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Spoon mixture into ungreased 11x7-inch (2-quart) baking dish. Top with crushed tortilla chips. Sprinkle with cheese. 

Bake uncovered 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Alfredo Pot Pie - Chicken or Turkey

Great for leftovers!  

This is another semi-homemade recipe that utilizes alfredo sauce in a jar.  It is also adaptable to what you have on hand.  Although the recipe calls for turkey, I would use chicken.  Another change I would make is to use fresh vegetables (I really don't like the frozen veggies).  Love the idea of using refrigerator biscuits . . . we usually use puff pastry.

Quick and easy for those days that don't have enough hours in the day.

Ingredients

1 bag (12 oz) Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers® frozen broccoli, carrots, cauliflower & cheese sauce

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup chopped onion

1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper

1 jar (15 oz) Alfredo sauce

2 cups cubed cooked turkey

3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 can (12 oz) Pillsbury® Grands!® Jr. Golden Layers® refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (10 biscuits)

2 tablespoons shredded fresh Parmesan cheese


Steps

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cook frozen vegetables as directed on bag for minimum time.

Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Cook onion and bell pepper in butter about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in Alfredo sauce, turkey or chicken, cooked vegetables with sauce, basil and black pepper. Cook until mixture is thoroughly heated and bubbly, stirring constantly. Spoon into baking dish.

Separate dough into 10 biscuits. Cut each biscuit in half crosswise. Arrange around edge of baking dish, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown.

Seafood Pot Pie

1 box frozen puff pastry sheets
1 egg, beaten
1 to 2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons diced onion
1 tablespoon diced fennel
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons diced celery
2 tablespoons finely cubed carrots
2 tablespoons green peas
3 large scallops
2 tablespoons diced ham
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Pinch freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1/2 fish-flavored bouillon cube
1/4 cup lump crab meat, picked over
3 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 large oysters, shucked
White pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Thaw 1 sheet of puff pastry, unwrap it, and brush with beaten egg. Slice pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Weave strips into lattice design, sized to fit the top of a 1 1/2 quart oven-safe medium-sized serving bowl or casserole. Place pastry on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet and bake until light golden brown. Remove from oven and let stand until needed.

Adjust oven temperature to 350 degrees F.

Filling:

Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions, fennel, garlic, celery, carrots, and green peas and saute until tender.

Add scallops and ham and continue to saute until scallops are barely halfway done. Sprinkle in flour and stir until coated.

Add cream, nutmeg, seasoning, and bouillon. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When mixture reaches a boil, remove from heat.

Add crab meat, shrimp, and oysters and season, to taste, with white pepper. Pour into the oven-safe serving bowl. Top with the pre-baked lattice puff pastry and gently press down into filling. Bake about 10 minutes or until bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving
