Cheddar Bay Biscuits

First of all use THIS: http://save-the-fork.blogspot.com/2011/11/homemade-baking-mix-which-i-will-use.html

Or bisquick if your feeling lazy :)




Cheddar Bay Biscuits

2 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix

3/4 cup cold whole milk

4 tablespoons cold butter (1/2 stick)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 heaping cup grated cheddar cheese


Bush on Top:

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

2. Combine Bisquick with cold butter in a medium bowl using a pastry cutter or a large fork. You don't want to mix too thoroughly. There should be small chunks of butter in there that are about the size of peas. Add cheddar cheese, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic. Mix by hand until combined, but don't over mix.

3. Drop approximately 1/4-cup portions of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet using an ice cream scoop.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the tops of the biscuits begin to turn light brown.

5. When you take the biscuits out of the oven, melt 2 tablespoons butter is a small bowl in your microwave. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Use a brush to spread this garlic butter over the tops of all the biscuits. Use up all of the butter. Makes one dozen biscuits.

Beef Stew, crockpot or stovetop

I have two go-to recipes for Stew. One is all fancy with stew meat and fresh cut vegtables but the other to me is better, faster and easier!



Stew La La (ok so I tried to be funny)
This has more ingredients for a double batch bc leftovers are so yummy!
2 lbs ground sirloin
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 cans of canned mixed vegtables, not drained. if you use frozen then you will increase your liquid
1 can Ranch Style Beans, not drained. Then fill to the top with water and pour in
1 small can tomato sauce, then fill to the top with water and pour in

Brown your meat, seasoning with your choices of seasonings. I use garlic powder, chilli powder, dash of cumin, salt, pepper and worshershire sauce.
Pour all ingredients into crock pot and cook on high for 5 hours or so. If you are going to cook on stove top then mix all of the ingredients with cooked beef and simmer for 20 minutes.

I serve with cornbread muffins or cheddar bay biscuits or grilled cheese.
