  1. Niece was here last Friday, and she made these for a quick
    dinner; *I* probably wouldn't eat them again, but everyone
    else (we dinner for 6) loved them. The original recipe came
    from the Pillsbury web site:

    Grands® Taco Melts

    1 package (1.25 oz) Old El Paso® taco seasoning mix
    2/3 cup water
    1 1/2 cups Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa
    1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef, cooked, drained
    1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury® Grands!® refrigerated biscuits
    (any variety)
    1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese or Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)
    1 cup sour cream, if desired

    Preheat oven to 375º F. In medium skillet, brown ground beef until no
    pink remains; drain. Add taco seasoning mix, water, and 1/2 cup of the
    salsa; simmer until thickened. Press each biscuit into 6-inch round.
    Fill each with taco mixture and 1 tablespoon cheese. Fold dough over
    filling and press to seal. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 14
    minutes or until golden brown. Serve with remaining salsa, cheese and
    sour cream. Yield: 8 sandwiches.

    It's almost as fast to just mix up some biscuit dough as it is to mess
    with bazooka biscuits - am I the only person in the world who finds the
    taste of the Pillsbury tube biscuits just not right?

    No, you're not. Maybe that's why I didn't care for them much. I've
    only once made real biscuits myself, though. The term "novice cook"
    in my sig is pretty appropriate... ;-)

    I won't eat them because they contain hydrogenated oil (at
    least they did when I last looked, which was pretty recently).
    A cream biscuit would be really quick. One could even put
    together the dry ingredients beforehand and having figured out
    (as per a recipe) how much is used per a given amount of cream.

  6. I sometimes use refrigerated crescent roll mix, rolled out so that the
    seam of the 2 triangles makes one long rectangle of dough, as the
    wrapper for mock calzones. i fill them with sauteed spinach, onions,
    and mushrooms, plus ricotta and mozzarella, then fold them up and bake
    em for about 15 minutes. i dip them in tomato sauce when i eat them. a
    pretty easy dish to make in under an hour when i get home on a school
    night .

    not so fond of canned biscuits, though. the flavor is really pretty
    artificial to me.

    Hey Jude!
    For some reason your postings come up on my IE in a very small font compared
    to all the rest I receive. Hmmm.

    The header data tells why:

    More-friendly software doesn't specify ANY charset.

    The author Peg Bracken came up with a two-ingredient biscuit - it used
    vanilla ice cream and a pre-mixed biscuit mix (Bisquick). I don't have
    it handy, and never tried it (it was in a magazine in the 70s, I
    think), but it sounded pretty reasonable - how much easier could it be?
    LOL.

    LOL.

    Bisquick biscuits use just two ingredients -- Bisquick and milk. I
    have seen variations using sour cream or mayonnaise in place of the
    milk. I've heard mention of Bisquick mixed with ranch dressing. I
    love Peg Bracken's books. I've never seen her ice cream method. It
    might make an interesting shortcake.

    This is the internet not english class, so your posts will not be graded for
    spelling or grammar, BUT the RESULTS of your posts WILL BE graded. I've put this
    down for a quick test thru the lab..err.. kitchen.

    Drugs.... Technically coffee could be considered a drug with its caffeine. All I
    can say is thank gawd alcohol, caffeine are legal.
