Biscuit Cups

I have tried this recipe a couple of times using different ideas and they've come out great each time.

Pizza Cups

Ingredients:

2 (6-count) containers small refrigerated biscuits

1 cup cooked turkey sausage (or chopped pepperoni)

1 cup pizza or pasta sauce

1 cup cheese

Instructions:

Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Press one biscuit into the bottom and up the sides of each cup of the muffin tin. Spoon approximately 1 TBS each of turkey and pizza sauce into each cup. Top with 1 TBS cheese.

Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 14 minutes.

To make Chili Cups

12 biscuits (same as above)

1 1/2 - 2 cups chili

Follow the above instructions except spoon chili and cheese into each muffin cup.

Chicken & Wild Rice Casserole, modified

This recipe was adapted from several chicken & rice casserole recipes (one of those is already on this blog) that I have in my collection. Some of the other recipes use mayonnaise and/or sour cream in addition to the cream soups. Next time I make it I plan to experiment a little by substituting or adding other veggies besides the green beans such as green peas, mushrooms, green pepper, or celery.
I also think french fried onions or crushed butter crackers would be great toppers in addition to the cheese if you want to dress it up some more. I made this just as listed below and cooked it in the crock pot on low for about 3 hours and it turned out great and was delicious.

Ingredients:
3-4 cups cooked chicken, chopped
2 boxes fast-cook long grain & wild rice (I used Uncle Ben's)
2 cans Cream of soups (I used Cream of Chicken & Herb & Cream of Mushroom)
2 cups shredded cheese such as Cheddar, Monterray Jack, or Colby, separated
1 12-oz. bag frozen cut green beans, cooked
1 medium to large onion, chopped
1 can chopped water chestnuts, optional
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:
Cook rice according to package directions; set aside. In large mixing bowl mix 1 1/2 cups cheese with all other ingredients. Stir very well. Spoon mixture into greased 9x13 baking dish. Top with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes until hot all the way through.
