Cinnamon Roll Pie

This recipe is so easy and it tastes and smells like homemade cinnamon rolls that you spent hours making!

3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 (17-1/2-ounce) package flaky biscuits (8 biscuits)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat bottom of your Stoneware pie plate with 2 tablespoons melted butter; set aside.

In a small bowl, combine pecans, sugar, and cinnamon; mix well. Sprinkle one-fourth of the pecan mixture over bottom of pie plate. Place remaining 3/4 cup melted butter in a small bowl.

Separate each biscuit into 3 layers. Dip biscuit pieces one at a time in melted butter, making sure to coat each thoroughly. Layer 8 biscuit pieces in bottom of pie plate, completely covering pecan mixture. Repeat pecan mixture and biscuit layers 2 more times.

Top with remaining pecan mixture and drizzle with any leftover melted butter. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden and cooked through.

Allow to cool 10 minutes then invert onto a serving platter and slice into wedges. Serve warm.

Easy Macaroni and Cheese!

I have great Facebook friends who share their recipes! This is one that I LOVE because it is so easy to make and is such a great comfort food. After all, who doesn't like macaroni and cheese?

1/3 cup margarine
2 1/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
2 cups grated or diced cheese ( I use velveeta)
4 cups milk
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 375. While the oven is preheating, put the margarine in your 9 x 13 stoneware pan and place in the oven. When margarine is melted (watch closely so it doesn't burn), add uncooked macaroni, stirring until it is coated with the butter. Sprinkle the cheese on the top but dont stir it. Add salt and pepper. Pour milk over the mixture. Bake for 45 minutes. Enjoy!!

**get creative and add a can of undrained Rotel right before you add the milk. Gives it a bit of a "kick"!

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.
