Taco Puffs

Link to recipe: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Taco-Puffs

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• 2 tubes (16.3 ounces each) large refrigerated flaky biscuits
• 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

These were a HUGE success! Made 8 puffs, but had left over meat that could have filled maybe 2 or 3 more. Only change I would make is adding more cheese inside the puffs- maybe placing a layer on the biscuit before the meat, then again on top. I had a left over tomato from making the chicken pizzas, so we added that to the meat mixture. Brian browned the meat and I cut the onion and tomato and started flattening the biscuits (the first time I've recognized the need for a rolling pin, but stretching them by hand worked fine).

Very easy, very delicious, and I would definitely do this again!:)

We added cheese on top of them before baking

Chicken Pizza

Here is the recipe I used from Taste of Home: http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Chicken-Pizza . I actually used their book but found their site to be able to post the recipe:)

• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 prebaked 12-inch pizza crust
• 1/4 cup prepared pesto
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

I used pesto like the recipe said and then tomato pasta sauce on the other because Brian wasn't sure he'd like pesto on his pizza (so now I have half a jar of pesto left over), but he ended up liking both! We used frozen precooked chicken strips instead of buying raw chicken breasts because I already had that chicken in my freezer. I didn't measure out the black beans, just spread them out and ended up having  a lot left over that I used with some pasta I made later that week. We also ended up using one tomato for the two pizzas (instead of 1 per pizza like the recipe sounds like it should be) mostly because Brian and I are not the biggest tomato fans (ESPECIALLY Brian).


A great success! Maybe next time I'll try making my own crust.
