I would do this one, if it were winter. Sounds great.

Here's another easy one for quick meals:


1 pot roast cooked and fed through a food processor with an onion. This can be frozen until a later date.

Add pickle relish and mayo to desired consistency. Spread on bread.

This is very intriguing. Is the onion cooked? What do you mean fed through a food processor? Liquified, or chunky? And about how much relish and mayo, and and dill or sweet pickle? Is it supposed to be like toothpaste, or more or less liquidy?

Sausage Biscuits

1 pound Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausage - I like the Maple
1 pound Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3.5 - 4 cups Bisquik

Preheat oven to 350F.

Melt the cheese in a double broiler or other preferred choice of melting cheese. Mix uncooked sausage and 3.5-4 cups of bisquik together in a large mixing bowl. Its easiest to just get your hands in there and squeeze it together between your fingers. Pour melted cheese into sausage/bisquick mixture. Mix until it makes a nice dough.

Either form dough into 1" balls and place on a baking sheet, or my preferred method is to pack into a mini-muffin tray, level with the top. Bake in oven for 8-12 minutes or until brown/crispy on top.

This is not my pic, but almost exactly how they turn out from the mini-muffin tin. Best when eaten right after baking, but taste just as good microwaved for 30 seconds per 4 sausage biscuits.

Im doing this one. Can you give more info on melting the cheese? im not familiar with a double broiler. Can I just dice it and melt it in the microwave?

Never use a microwave to melt chese
1) everything under it over cooks

2) everything under it can get real soggy

3) 10 seconds is the difference between delicious & DISASTER

4) melting the cheese as the recipe calls for gets a nice bubbly cheese .

5) a microwave only melts (depending on fat content of cheese, No browning, gooy dripping cheese to enjoy.

Fuck Jim. Light a candle instead of cursing my darkness.

+1 to Jim's comment re: microwaves. They suck for heating water for tea too. They leave cold pockets in everything they heat up.

I usually just take a larger metal mixing bowl and place it on top of a 2-3qt sauce pan filled half with water. Get the water boiling, slice the cheese up into smallish strips/cubes (like half in cubes), and toss them in. Once the water is boiling, turn the heat down to medium to medium-low heat to keep it at a high temp. Make sure you stir and it takes a while, but it'll melt the cheese. I used to just toss the cheese in the sauce pan, but if you don't constantly stir it, it'll burn on the bottom and make cleanup a real PITA.

eta: Get the cheese melting first, THEN work on the sausage/bisquick mixture as there will be plenty of time to do that while you wait for the cheese to melt. And if you use a mini-muffin tin, that recipe will make around 50 sausage biscuits (my mini-muffin tin has 24 spaces on it)

Alright, I'm going to make it this upcoming week. Sounds good. Thanks
