Blueberry and Cream Breakfast Bake

 


This was just all too easy ya'll!  5 ingredients and a quick bake to a delicious holiday breakfast!  This is a high-end bakery quality product that is perfect for a holiday, brunch with friends or even a bake and take dessert!

You'll need:

2 cans of Pillsbury Blueberry Biscuits
1 quart heavy whipping cream
1 lb frozen blueberries
1/2 cup of melted butter
3/4 cup light brown sugar

Grease a 9x13 baking dish and add all the blueberry biscuits.  Reserve the icing from the biscuit tin, you'll need that at the very end of this dish.  If you have additional biscuits that won't fit, just rear them into small pieces to fill in between your whole biscuits.  Add the heavy whipping cream about halfway deep up your biscuits.  This won't take the entire quart of cream but probably more than half a quart.  

Top the biscuits and cream with 8 ounces of frozen blueberries (more or less to your taste).  

Melt your butter and dissolve the light brown sugar into the butter and pour the mixture over your dish as evenly as you can.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil.  Bake at 350* for about 30 - 35 minutes.  Drizzle the icing that came with the biscuits and that's it!  This is absolutely delicious and presents like a magazine dream!

You can change up the fruit to suit what you like.  Cinnamon biscuits and apples come immediately to mind!  This is easy and very inexpensive for a quick bake and a delicious and impressive presentation.

Thanksgiving Casserole

 



I love green bean casserole, and I love stuffing!  This recipe brings you the best of both worlds with those savory green beans and the crunchy deliciousness of the stuffing topping!  This mixes in a single dish and will serve a crowd.  Done and on the table in under about 40 minutes!  What more can you ask for?


You'll need:

4 12 ounce bags of frozen green beans
1 family size cans of cream of chicken soup 
7 ounces sour cream
1 pound shredded cheddar cheese
1 large container of French fried onions
salt and pepper
onion powder
garlic powder
red pepper flakes
2 boxes of turkey flavor dry stuffing mix
1/2 carton chicken broth
1/2 stick of butter

Begin with 4 bags of frozen green beans in a greased jumbo size baking pan.  Top beans with both cans of cream of chicken soup.  Add 7 oz sour cream on top.  Add one pound of shredded cheddar cheese.  Add 1/2 a large can of French fried onions.  

Season with parsley, black pepper, salt, onion powder, red pepper flakes and garlic powder.  I used about 1/4 teaspoon of each but you can season to your taste. 

Mix all ingredients well and smooth out in the pan. Top the green beans with 2 boxes of turkey flavor dry stuffing mix. Spread stuffing mix evenly then pour 1/2 carton of chicken broth.  You want to wet the stuffing mix so that it bakes up crispy.  Dot with 1/2 stick of butter and add the remaining French fried onions.  

Bake at 350* for approximately 30-40 minutes until the center is well set.  

Notes:  You can use any cream of soup that you like - cream of mushroom, cream of bacon, etc.  You can also omit the red pepper flakes if that is too spicy for your taste.  If you need a smaller family serving, just cut this recipe in half.  I recommend serving this on the day you bake it.  If you refrigerate it overnight, your toppings may soften and loose their crunch factor.
