Filled Biscuits

This is now one of my favorite breakfast dishes! It takes a minute to make, but it is worth it :)

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 – 10 count can small biscuits
3 ounces cream cheese cut in 10 cubes

Heat oven to 375 F degrees.

Add vanilla to melted butter. In a separate bowl, add cinnamon to sugar.

Separate ten biscuits. Press each biscuit to a 3-inch circle, using the bottom of a glass or the palms of your hands.

Dip each cheese cube in butter mixture, then in sugar mixture. Place cube in center of biscuit circle. Fold dough over cheese, cover completely and pinch to seal well. Shape into a ball.

Roll each filled biscuit in butter mixture, then in sugar mixture. Place seam-side down in ungreased muffin baker. - IF you don't have a stoneware muffin baker, use a greased muffin tin and watch your cooking time closely as it may burn quickly!

Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove immediately from pan and allow to cool.

Quick Dish Pizza

1-1/2 pounds ground Italian sausage
1 – 15 ounce can Italian-style tomato sauce
1-1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)
1 - 10 ounce package refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet cook sausage until no longer pink, stirring frequently. Drain off fat. Stir in tomato sauce; heat through. Transfer mixture to your 9 x 13 casserole dish. Sprinkle cheese on top.

Flatten each biscuit with your hands; arrange the biscuits on top of the cheese. Bake in the preheated oven about 15 minutes or until biscuits are golden. Enjoy!

**You can add any other pizza toppings that you like. Either mix them together with the meat and sauce or layer it before you add the cheese. You can also substitute ground beef or turkey if you prefer that over sausage.
