Week 35: Recipe #5--Meatball Bubble Biscuits

This recipe was SUPER easy--perfect for a busy weeknight.  Plus, they were a big hit with the husband and kids.  This recipe is from a blog called Kathie Cooks (see link below).  I served these biscuits with pasta and marinara sauce, along with a green salad and fruit.  Makes 20 biscuits.

You'll Need:

• 1 can Pillsbury golden layers biscuits, each pulled into 2 layers
• 10 frozen fully cooked Italian-style meatballs, thawed and cut in half
• 2 sticks string cheese, each cut into 10 pieces
• 1 Tblsp. parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• marinara sauce for dipping (I also served pasta and marinara sauce, so one jar was the perfect amount for the pasta and dipping)

Preparation:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Separate biscuits into 2 layers.  Place 1 meatball half and one piece of the string cheese into each biscuit; wrap dough around it and seal edges.  Place seam side down into 9-inch round cake pan.
2. Sprinkle with parmesan, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.  
3. Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.  Serve with warm sauce.
