Cinnamon Roll Bites

Ingredients
One can Pillsbury “Simply” refrigerated biscuits, 10 count
5 tablespoons softened butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons McCormick Gourmet Roasted Saigon Cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
5 to 6 tablespoons heavy cream

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Unroll biscuits onto a clean countertop and press out with fingers to about 3 inches wide. Spread each biscuit with 1/2 tablespoon of butter then top evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon. Starting at the bottom of each round, roll up jelly roll fashion with seam side down on countertop. Use a sharp knife and cut 1/2 inch slices and place onto prepared baking sheet. I cut 6 slices per biscuit making 60 small cinnamon rolls. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, until light brown and cooked through. Remove from oven.

3. Place powdered sugar and heavy cream into a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over hot rolls. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Best served warm with a tall glass of milk!

Easy Philly Cheesesteaks

Ingredients

• 2 c. beef broth
• 1 pkg onion soup mix
• 1 lb. Black Angus rare roast beef (regular roast beef works great too, just make sure it's from the deli and thinly sliced)
• 1 green bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large white or yellow onion, sliced
• 8 oz. cream cheese
• sliced provolone cheese (2 slices per sandwich)
• 3-4 hoagie rolls

Instructions

• Bring beef broth and onion soup mix to a boil. Add roast beef, reduce heat, and simmer for about 5-10 minutes. In the meantime, in a large skillet saute onion and green pepper.
• When beef is done simmering, drain juices (you can keep the juice if you want to make an "au jus" dip.. I tried this a couple weeks ago when I made these at my sister's house and it was awesome). Add roast beef to skillet along with about 4 oz. of cream cheese.
• Spread remaining cream cheese on each hoagie roll. When the cream cheese in the skillet is all melted, generously portion beef mixture onto each hoagie roll.
• Top with provolone cheese and place sandwiches, open-faced on a large baking sheet.
• Broil on high for about a minute or until cheese becomes bubbly and bread becomes slightly toasty. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Review: YUMMY!!Did I mention this was yummy! I was worried about the cream cheese but it made a great sandwich.
