</div><div style="text-align: center;">preheat oven to 425. mix in a large bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder & salt.</div><div style="text-align: center;">next grab your pastry cutter (a potato masher will do) and add shortening, eggs and milk.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> drop tablespoon-sized biscuits onto sprayed pan, and bake for 11-12 mins (or until golden brown. but i think you knew that). </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">while the biscuits are baking it's time to start the gravy!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Gravy:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">1 package bacon or sausage </div><div style="text-align: center;">(it's your choice, trav prefers bacon but i prefer sausage, try both!)</div><div style="text-align: center;">1 cup flour</div><div style="text-align: center;">milk (lots. of. milk.)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lawry's seasoning salt</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First, cook bacon. You can make it as soft or crunchy as you like! Once cooked, drain all the fat (add the appropriate "ewwww" when prompted). Then return pan to stove on medium heat and add one cup of flour. Be sure to mix and don't stop! The flour burns easily. Mix and cook until flour becomes a light goldy color (maybe more off-white. haa i'm so profesh, right?). Next add the milk, pour into the pan until it reaches halfway up the pan. It's a lot of trial and error, so keeping mixing and adding milk until it's the consistency you want. less milk = thick, more milk = less thick.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">once it's all done & done crumble the biscuits and coat with gravy! </div><div style="text-align: center;">bon appetite (or whatever!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">In a large sauce pan heat up a little bit of olive oil, or butter, to sauté the minced onion; cook for about 5 minutes or until translucent. Take off heat and add cream cheese. Add sour cream and whisk until there are no more lumps, or close to none. Add salt and pepper to taste and remove about 1/3 of the mixture and set aside (it will be poured on top later). To the large amount of the cream mixture add the olives, chopped, the cut up chicken, and 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheese.</span></div><br />

I use a 1 cup measuring cup to spoon the chicken mixture into each tortilla (each tortillas will need about 1 cup of the mixture). Spread it lengthwise on the tortilla and roll up, place fold side down in the pan. If on your last 2 it looks as though you’ll have less or more than 1 cup of the filling for each just try to split it evenly among the two.</span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;">Add a few tablespoons of milk to the 1/3 of the cream mixture that you set aside. Pour that mixture over the top of the enchiladas and spread evenly. Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes. The edges should all begin to bubble when it is done. When this happens, add the other 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese to the top of the enchiladas and bake another 5 minutes. Let sit for a few minutes before serving.</span></div><br />

8 cups flour<br />
4 tsp salt<br />
1/4 cups sugar<br />
4 cups hot water<br />
3/4 cups olive oil<br />
4 Tbs yeast <br />
<br />
Measure yeast into a small bowl. Sprinkle with a bit of the sugar and add up to half of the warm water to activate the yeast. Measure flour, salt and sugar into a large mixing bowl. (I use a Bosch mixer) Add the rest of the water, yeast and olive oil. Mix. Add additional flour as needed. The dough should cling to the center and clean off the sides of the bowl as it mixes. Knead in mixer about 5 minutes. Let rise in bowl. Stir down and divide into 4. Cooking spray 4 large 15 1/2" to 16" pizza pans. Roll out dough in pan pushing dough from the center outward to the edges of the pan. Let rise in pan. Add tomato sauce / mozzarella cheese and toppings and bake at 425º for 15-20 minutes or until bottom of crust is golden brown. This recipe can easily be halved r quartered for fewer pizzas.*If you use instant yeast stir it in dry with the flour, salt and sugar.Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07788310523436444602noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1652019779099824434.post-20978617627926001502010-04-02T09:47:00.000-07:002010-04-02T09:47:22.745-07:00McCasserole12-16oz sausage<br />
