So apparently i'm making these for superbowl...I blame my husband, he just haaaad to post these....oh well, they look good though haha.
1 can (8ct.) Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits (if ya'll pay attention at all to my blog posts, you know i dont use name brands, not when you can use store brands at a fraction of the cost)
Cubed Mozzarella Cheese (1-1″ cube per Bomb)
2 lbs. of Bacon (1 slice per Bomb)
Sticks
Oil for frying (I use veggies oil, dont judge me:P)
Directions:
Cube up the Cheese, and cut each Biscuit into fourths. Place one piece of Cheese inside a Biscuit quarter, and roll it up in there, nice and tight…
Wrap each rolled Bomb in a slice of Bacon, and secure it with a skewer or toothpick…
In a med/large pot, heat up approx. 2″ of Oil (to 350 degrees) and fry them up in small batches. Maybe one or two at a time, the oil will expand so stay close…
Drain them on some Paper Towel, but serve them up good and warm, so they do the melty goodness thing.
Well this isnt exactly healthy, but um, baby was craving chili cheese fries yesterday haha, so guess what, we had chili cheese fries:P
The chili: (this version does not have beans in it, if you feel so inclined open up a can of kidney beans, drain them and add them in after everything else but before letting them cook for about an hour) (this is also a kid friendly recipe for those of us with picky eaters, alternatively you can take fresh onion and pure it and mix it in and they probably wont know its there either)
1lb lean ground beef (if you cant get good lean, just drain the fat off it)
1 28oz can tomato sauce
1 8oz can tomato paste
2-3 cloves crushed/minced garlic
1 tbsp dried minced onion
1 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp cumin powder
3 tbsp chili powder (possibly more)
1/4 cup masa flour (this s the secret ingredient)
1/2 cup water
Brown your meat and drain off any extra fat if need be.
Add in the minced garlic and stir, being careful not to burn it.
Add in bot cans of tomato sauce and paste.
Add in all the seasonings and onions and stir well.
Let bubble for a few minutes.
While its bubbling, mix the water and masa together to form a "Slurry".
Add the slurry into the pot and mix well.
This is where you would add the beans.
Set heat on a low low simmer, pop a lid on it and walk away. Come back and stir it every 15 minutes or so for an hour.
this is wonderful on fries, hot dogs, hamburgers, in a bowl by itself with some cornbread on the side, you name it.
Cheddar garlic biscuits
Ingredients
Original recipe makes 1 dozen
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
5 tablespoons butter
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
For the Topping:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, divided
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley (or ¼ teaspoon dried)
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
In a large bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add the milk and cheddar cheese; stir to combine. Drop batter by spoonful’s onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. While the biscuits are in the oven, stir together the 2 tablespoons melted butter, garlic powder and parsley. Remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately brush with the topping mixture. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or zip-top back at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Note: i also added 1/2 tsp garlic powder to the batter
Note #2: I call BS on this making a dozen, I got 6 nice sized biscuits out of it.
