The Easiest Biscuits Ever

Along with copious amounts of mashed potatoes, a pot roast dinner also requires bread.  So, once again from www.thepioneerwoman.com (Ree Drummond is truly a genius!) I found another recipe that I am in love with!  Anyone that can use canned biscuits in a recipe (and admit it), and have it turn out to die for, is all right by me!  In the original recipe blue cheese was used instead of goat cheese.  But knowing that MM's kids might not appreciate blue cheese, and not knowing how strong the flavor would be (I didn't want anything to overpower the pot roast!) I opted for goat cheese.  Next time I make these I will use blue cheese.  They will never know!


The Easiest Biscuits Ever
Serves 10-12
2 cans  canned flaky biscuits
2 sticks butter
4 oz goat cheese (or blue cheese)

Heat oven to 350F.
Place butter on a baking sheet.  Crumble cheese and put on top of butter.  Place baking sheet in the oven until butter is melted.  Remove baking sheet from the oven.  Using a fork mix the cheese and the butter together.
While butter is melting, remove biscuits from the cans and cut each biscuit into quarters.  Get ready to get your hands messy!  Place quartered biscuits in the melted butter and cheese mixture.  Using your hands toss the biscuits in the butter and cheese until each biscuit is coated evenly.  Spread the biscuits evenly across the pan.  Place pan in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.  Keep an eye on the biscuits so they don't burn.  Just before they are ready to come out, remove the pan from the oven.  Using a pastry brush, brush the biscuits with any of the buttery cheesey goodness that is in the bottom of the pan.  Place the pan back in the oven until the biscuits are just crisp and brown.
Here is where self restraint is really important.  I highly recommend testing out one of the biscuits to make sure that they are appropriate to be serving to your dinner party.  Do not however eat all of the wonderfully buttery cheesey blobs of cooked dough!
