Becoming Betty: Barbecue Chicken Bubble-up Bake

I've been scrolling through Pinterest quite a bit lately and found this recipe.

I'm always looking for easy recipes and recipes that use biscuits since I usually stock up on them when they are on sale.  Speaking of which, I recently stocked up.

This recipe is easy-peasy.

Biscuits cut up

Chicken cut up and ready for BBQ. Oh, the chicken ended up kind of shredded since I didn't cut it up until after it was cut.

Sous Chef Zed overseeing the process (ok - waiting for some more chicken)

Chicken and biscuits mixed together.  Oh - the recipe called for a 3 qt glass container.  I only have a 2.5 qt container.

Then covered with cheese.

And after 30 minutes

It doesn't really present well on the plate

The verdict:

I would probably cook this a little longer.  There were a couple of biscuits that were gooey.  Hubby liked it, and I thought it was pretty good especially since it was so easy to make.

Becoming Betty: CrockPot Chex Mix

I LOVE homemade Chex Mix.  I have an original recipe from a Chex cereal box from WAY back (maybe the 80's).   I say this because I don't like the "new" recipe that is store bought.  Mostly because of the baguette pieces.

I've only ever done the recipe in the oven, but this year I ran across a recipe for Chex Mix in a Crockpot!  WHAT?!  

I LOVE my crockpot. So when I saw this recipe, I figured I'd try it.

All I can say is WOW!  So easy and not as messy as the oven recipe!  I followed the recipe to the T, which I don't do on the oven recipe (I have a secret ingredient). 

The end product - in the cooling stage.

And the casualties

Lesson learned - spray with non-stick spray.

Future Chex Mix will be made this way (but maybe with the secret ingredient).
