Pepperoni Pizza Bake

Dinner Tonight: Pepperoni Pizza Bake



Started off with breakfast, workout, and shower. Cooler outside today after 68 degrees yesterday.
Rain on and off almost all day. So not much going on outside, stayed inside and cleaned the house today. Had to have the repairman we always use to come and do for work for us today also. We had a kitchen drawer break its slider bracket and we had to have the heating tape for our waterlines replaced. It seems lately it's always something, be it the house or car that needs repaired! For dinner tonight a new recipe, Pepperoni Pizza Bake.






Came across this Pillsbury recipe and one other in a cooking magazine and couldn't wait to give them a try. I'm preparing the Grands Pepperoni Pizza Bake, I'm saving the other recipe for later (Sausage Crescent Cheese Balls). To make this dish I'll need just 4 ingredients; 1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Homestyle refrigerated original biscuits, 1 can (8 oz) pizza sauce, 2 cups finely shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz), and 16 slices pepperoni (1 1/2 inch). I used Ragu Homestyle Pizza Sauce, Hormel Turkey Pepperoni, and Sargento Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (Traditional Cut).



To prepare the dish I started by heating the oven to 375°F. Sprayed 13x9-inch (3-quart) baking dish

with Pam with Olive Oil Cooking Spray. Separate the dough into 8 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces. Then in large bowl, toss with biscuit pieces, pizza sauce and 1 cup of the cheese.Top with pepperoni and remaining 1 cup cheese. Baked for 23 minutes, and the biscuits were golden brown. The dish turned out incredible! Just a fantastic combination of 4 ingredients that work together. The Pillsbury Grands Biscuits gives it that Pizza texture and taste. You could add Mushrooms, Sausage or any of your favorite Pizza toppings to the dish. I've left the original recipe and web link at the end of the post. For dessert later a Jello Sugar Free Dark Chocolate Mousse.

Ham, Cheese, and Fried Egg Biscuit w/ Hash Browns

Dinner Tonight: Ham, Cheese, and Fried Egg Biscuit w/ Hash Browns

Another night and day of heavy rain on and off. Had some excitement here in the neighborhood, just down the street and around the corner from where I live. The Police answered a domestic disturbance call and when they got there a man had barricaded himself in and was armed. So we had the West Chester Police Department and a Swat Team all here from 6:30 yesterday evening until about 10:00 this morning. He finally came out on his own and was arrested. It's usually a real quiet neighborhood, but not last night! Did some chores around the house and ran to Kroger for Mom. For dinner tonight it's a Breakfast Menu! I prepared a Ham, Cheese, and Fried Egg Biscuit w/ Hash Browns.

I got the basic idea for this sandwich watching an episode of American Diner Revival , love that show. Chef Amanda Freitag spices the menus of small diners being renovated. I simplified my version of her recipe and added a Fried Egg on top of the Ham. To make the Sandwich I'll be using the following; Smithfield Anytime Hickory Smoked Boneless Sliced Ham, 1 Egg (Medium Size), 1 Slice Kraft Deli Deluxe Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Sweet Hot Stone Ground Mustard, 1 Grands Flaky Layers Buttermilk Biscuit. This sounds delicious just writing the ingredients down!

I started by preheating the oven on 350 degrees. I'll be baking my Grand Biscuits for 16 minutes. As

the Biscuits were baking I grabbed 2 small skillets and 1 medium size skillet; 1 for the Ham, 1 for the Fried Egg, and 1 for my Hash Browns which is one of my side dishes. Heated up 2 of the skillets on medium heat, heated 2 skillet on medium high for the Hash Browns. The ham is precooked so I all I had to do was warm it up. I prepared the Egg Overeasy seasoning it with Morton's Light Salt and Ground Black Pepper. To make the Biscuit Sandwich I took one of the Biscuits and sliced it in half. I put the Stone Ground Mustard on the bottom slice of the Biscuit, a slice of Cheese, then the Ham, and topped with the Egg and the top half of the Biscuit. What Sandwich! It is a messy sandwich though with Egg, but worth it! Everything just comes together perfect.

For A side dish; I cooked the Hash Browns, as I said on medium high heat, in Extra Virgin Olive Oil for about 16 minutes. I used Simply Potatoes Hash Browns, my favorite packaged Potatoes. Always fresh and so easy to prepare. Wow, one delicious Breakfast/Dinner Sandwich and side. Really enjoyed this meal. For dessert later a healthy Choice Dark Fudge Swirl Frozen Greek Yogurt.
