BBQ Chicken Salad

I am not going to put portion amounts because it varies on the number of people you want to feed...

Lettuce
Tomatoes
Jiciama
can of corn
can of black beans
Bar-B-Que Sauce
Ranch Dressing
Chicken

Cook chicken in Bar-B-Que sauce on stovetop and cut into bite size pieces. Mix in the remaining ingredients and toss in desired amount of Ranch Dressing. Very simple dinner and really healthy depending on the amount of ranch & bbq you put in there.

Biscuit Pizza Bake

1 lb ground beef
2 tubes (12 oz each) refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 can (15 oz) pizza sauce (I have used spaghetti sauce)
1 cup chopped green pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 pkg sliced pepperoni
1 cup (4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar cheese

Brown ground beef. Meanwhile, quarter the biscuits; place in greased 3-qt baking dish. Top with pizza sauce. Drain beef; sprinkle over biscuits and sauce. Layer with veggies, pepperoni, and cheeses.

Bake, uncovered, 350 degree for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

*Note: I have had some trouble with getting the biscuits to cook all the way through. I like to bake my biscuits for about 10 minutes before I top it with the sauce and other ingredients. It seems to help. Enjoy!
