DINNER FOR TWO
FREE RECIPES!
We tried this recipe out earlier this week at our house, and it quickly became one of my hubby's favorite recipes! My friend Shannon shared it with me as an easy dinner-on-the-go recipe for busy weeknights, and it was definitely a hit at our house. And guess what makes it even better? You probably have most of the ingredients in your stockpile (yayyyy!) Here's the recipe . . .

I tried these and they were pretty good. Thanks for the recipe! But I didn’t have any bacon, and you could definitely tell that it was missing something.
I’ve been making this recipe for a while (i even made it for V-day bunco), except it is called cheeseburger bread. It didn’t include bacon, but I like the idea! I will have to update my recipe! It’s a hit with my family too. Great to take on picnics, too!
I don’t think I tried them at Bunch Heather! They really are good with the bacon . . . James absolutely loved them 🙂
Thinking if you don’t have pizza dough, you could probably use bisquik to make some, or even make this recipe using crescent rolls (who doesn’t have 5 cans of those in their fridge?)
Great idea Julie! (Oh my goodness, with crescent rolls those would be yummmmyyyyyy!)
