GAMEDAY: Garlic Chicken Puffs

4 ounces cream cheese 

1 tsp garlic powder 

1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken 

2 cans refrigerator crescent rolls

Mix cream cheese, garlic and chicken until well blended.

Unroll crescent rolls and cut each triangle into 2 triangles (when you unroll the crescent rolls, 2 triangles are attached making a big square, I just cut from there following the perforation for one cut and made another cut from the other corners = giving you 4 little triangles)

Place 1 tsp of chicken mixture on the center of each triangle and fold the corners in over the creamy mixture.

Place on cookie sheet, lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with no stick spray.  Bake at 375 for 12-14 mins.

I used 2 cookie sheets at a time, and had to bake 3 batches to get all of mine baked (so allow for that time if you’re making a lot)

Also, mine were ready in about 11 mins, so watch for how your oven cooks.

*For cooked chicken, I buy those big bags of frozen chicken tenderloins, I just threw 6 of them on a cookie sheet and baked for about 25 mins.

GAMEDAY: Sausage Balls

This recipe is pretty simple and very good!

You will need the following:

2 Cups Bisquick

2 Cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese

1 Pound Sausage (mild or hot)

Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a large cookie sheet. You may line it with foil first if you like.

In a large bowl, blend together cheese and Bisquick

Next, knead the sausage in to Bisquick and cheese mixture.

This can take some time, but make sure it is all mixed in.

Now roll the mixture into balls about the size of walnuts.

Place on cookie sheet and cook for about 20-25 minutes.

They will look like this when finished. That's all there is to it! Enjoy!
