Bubble Pizza

‎1 and a half cans on Grands biscuits
1 roll Jimmy Dean spicy sausage (Actually I used have reg. sausage half spicy sausage to total one roll)
1/2 Onion, chopped
1 jar spaghetti sauce (I used spaghetti sauce, but you can use pizza sauce)
Mozzarella
Preheat oven to 350*. Cut each biscuit into 4 pieces. Layer in the bottom of a sprayed 9x13 pan. Cook onion in about a tsp oil. Once cooked, add sausage and cook. Once the meat is cooked, add sauce and combine. Pour meat mixture on top of biscuits. Cook in oven for 30-45 minutes, or until biscuits are cooked (always check the middle, because it takes the longest to cook. LOL!) Remove from oven, top with cheese, return to oven for about 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Enjoy :)

****You can add whatever toppings you like. We've done pepperoni before, and we've done peppers and onion. You really can add whatever you like. It's easy. I've also made it with just normal biscuits, and it comes out fine too, you just have to use more of them. I like the Grands biscuits, because they puff up and gives it more of a crust. Hope y'all enjoy it :D****

Chicken and Dumplings in the Crock pot

Chicken and Dumplings in the crockpot

3 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (you can throw them in frozen even)
1 chopped onion (I've never used - oops!)
2 Tbl. butter
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 jar homestyle classic chicken gravy
1 can of chicken broth (I do 1 and 1/2 water and 2 bouillon)
2 cans of tube biscuits

Put chicken in the crock pot, put everything else in on top of that except the biscuits. Let it cook on high for 4 - 6 hours. Cut biscuits in halves or fourths and place in crockpot. Push under the broth. Return lid and let it cook for another 30 min. or so on high. Make sure the middle ones are done before you serve. I stir it some where in there to be sure they get done.

Super easy!! Super tasty!
