I love the smell of chicken cooking. I was playing one day trying to come up with a good recipe for a homecooked meal. I went out to my garden and gathered some vegetables. I picked some tomatoes, green beans, a small cabbage, dug up some potatoes and other vegetables. I brought them in the house. I washed a whole chicken and placed it in a pan. Now what can I do? I went through my cupboard to see what interesting things I had and found some stove top stuffing. Stuffing is always good with chicken, but I wanted something a little different.

I thought for a moment and then I got the idea to use the stuffing on top of the chicken. So I prepared the stuffing and let it cool slightly. I then loosen the skin on top of the whole chicken. I placed the stuffing under the chicken skin placing it on top of the breast and along the legs. I then placed some stuffing inside the chicken. I washed the vegetables and cut them up placing them around the chicken in the pan. I opened a can of chicken broth and poured it over the vegetables in the pan around the chicken.
I covered the pan with tin foil and placed it in a 350 oven.
I baked it for about 1 1/2 hours.
I then checked it and to my surprise the stuffing had puffed up and was juicy on top of the chicken. I removed the tin foil and let it cook for aother 20 minutes until everything was a golden brown.
This was one of the best tasting chicken dinners. The flavor from the stove top stuffing had cooked into the chicken and the vegetables.

I love a good tasting meatloaf. While having a conversation with a friend one day she was telling me of a recipe that someone suggested to her.

The recipe was to use a box of Stove Top Stuffing for mixing in with hamburger for making a meatloaf. This recipe idea stayed in my mind. So one day I was shopping at my local grocery store and they had hamburger on a special sale in 3 pound rolls. So I brought one of the hamburger rolls and tried out the recipe.

I opened the plastic cover on the hamburger and dumped it into a glass bowl. I then broke it up into pieces with my hands. I added two eggs and then opened a box of chicken stove top stuffing and dumped it right on top. I mixed it up using my hands until thoroughly mixed.
I then placed the meat mixture in a round deep baking pan and formed the meat mixture to fit the pan.

I baked it in a 350 oven for about one and a half hours. I took the pan out of the oven and drained off the fat and grease. I then opened up two can of Campbell’s Mushroom Soup and put it on top of the meatloaf spreading it out evenly.

I then continued baking the meatloaf for about another hour.

For dinner that night I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. It had all the flavor of stove top stuffing and the meat was very firm. This was one of the best meatloaves I had tasted.

From now on this is going to be my favorite way of making a meatloaf. When I make it again I will try a different flavor of Stove Top Stuffing and use Campbell’s Tomato Soup for a different taste.

As I was thinking of how great this was I then got to thinking, this would be good for making a tasty meatball recipe, stuffed peppers or for making hamburgers to be cooked out on the BBQ Grill.

 This has a cool name, it is very good and easy to make. I made some of this for some office friends and it was a success. I like adding the cooking spice of cloves. It adds a nice flavor. You can also add raisins and walnuts as you layer the biscuits.

Monkey Bread

3 cans Pillsbury biscuits
cinnamon
sugar
1 stick butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon of cloves (opionional)

Preheat oven to 350*F.

Make a cinnamon and sugar mixture to taste.

Open a can of biscuits and cut each biscuit into 4’s.
Roll biscuit pieces in cinnamon/sugar mixture until evenly coated. Place evenly around  bundt pan sprayed with a non stick cooking spray.

In a sauce pan, melt butter, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon until smooth and creamy. Mix in the 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves. You can use 1/8 of teaspoon for less clove flavor.
Pour over biscuits.

Place in oven for approximately 30 minutes or until cake is slightly crunchy on top.

Remove from oven. Place a plate on top of bundt pan (upside down) and flip so that cake falls out onto plate.

Enjoy
