INGREDIENTS:
Meat Filling
1/2 lb ground pork sausage
1/2 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
3/4 cup chopped onions
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
Dash pepper
1 can (6 oz) tomato paste

Cheese Filling
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
1 egg

Crust
16 oz Refrigerated crescent dinner rolls or 16 oz refrigerated seamless dough sheet
2 (7×4-inch) slices mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon sesame seed (I don’t like these so I didn’t use them)

DIRECTIONS
In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage and beef until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink, stirring frequently; drain. Stir in remaining meat filling ingredients; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly heated.

Meanwhile, heat oven to 375°F. In small bowl, mix cheese filling ingredients. Unroll both cans of dough. Place dough rectangles side by side, on ungreased cookie sheet (if using crescent dough, firmly press edges and perforations to seal). Press to form 15×13-inch rectangle.

Spoon half of meat filling in 6-inch wide strip lengthwise down center of dough to within 1 inch of short sides. Spoon cheese filling over meat filling; spoon remaining meat filling evenly over cheese filling. Arrange mozzarella cheese slices over filling.

Fold short sides of dough 1 inch over filling. Fold long sides of dough tightly over filling, overlapping edges in center 1/4 inch; firmly pinch center seam and ends to seal. Brush with milk; sprinkle with sesame seed.

Bake 23 to 27 minutes or until deep golden brown.

I am always looking for simple things to make for the boys and I. I found this one and it was EASY and Delicious!

Ingredients

* 6 bone-in chicken breast halves, with skin
* 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
* 2 teaspoons chili powder
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 2 teaspoons garlic powder
* 2 teaspoons dried thyme
* 2 teaspoons dried oregano
* salt and pepper to taste

This recipe also called for 1 tablespoon hickory-flavored liquid smoke which I did not use and it was still fantastic. Most people don’t have this in their pantry.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. Arrange chicken pieces in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking dish, allowing room between pieces. Drizzle with Worcestershire sauce and liquid smoke, then sprinkle with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, thyme, oregano and salt and pepper to taste.

3. Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

6 chicken legs
½ cup of orange marmalade
1-2 tsp chili powder

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine marmalade and chili powder in a plastic bag, add chicken legs and shake until evenly coated. Place chicken on foil on a baking tray and spoon any remaining marmalade/chili powder. Bake for 30 minutes or until done.
