BBQ Beef Biscuit Pockets

One of my favorite food blogs to follow is Chef-In-Training because I feel like our food styles are very similar.  I think her blog is actually the reason I started blogging in the first place.  Anyway, she posted this recipe, and I was dying to try it.  My husband is not a fan of pie crust, so I substituted with biscuits.  No silverware needed! 

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 package refrigerated biscuits
• 1 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup corn, frozen
• 1 1/2 cup favorite BBQ sauce

Directions:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Brown beef in skillet until cooked and drain excess fat.  Stir in corn and BBQ sauce until coated evenly.  Flatten all biscuits with hands or a roller until about 1/4 inch thick.  Top half of the biscuits with meat and Cheddar cheese.  Place the remaining flattened biscuits over the top and pinch the sides together making a pie.  Cut four lines in the top for ventilation.  Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.

Semi Homemade Biscuits and Gravy

Every time my husband and I go out for breakfast he always orders biscuits and gravy.  We have had some really good ones and some really bad ones.  The good ones always have thick and creamy gravy with lots of sausage and the bad ones are the opposite.  I decided to surprise him one morning and we were  both pleasantly surprised with how fantastic and simple it was to make. 

Ingredients:

• 1 package refrigerated biscuits
• 1 lb breakfast sausage
• 1 package country style gravy mix
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 1/2 cups cold milk
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Tabasco, to taste
• pepper, to taste

Directions:  Bake biscuits according to package.  In a large skillet brown sausage over medium heat.  Sprinkle sausage with gravy mix and thoroughly mix.  Slowly stir in water followed by milk.  Season with paprika, Tabasco, and pepper.  Pour gravy over biscuits and serve.
