Easy Cinnamon rolls

I love this recipe. It is so fast and so good. My family gets so excited when I make these.

1 loaf of frozen bread dough
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup melted butter
2 tbsp cinnamon

roll out dough to large rectangle. Brush on butter, spread sugar and cinnamon on top of butter. Roll up like jelly roll. Cut into 1 inch slices. Put in 9 by 13 greased pan. Cover, let rise until double. Bake at 375 for 15-20 min. Drizzel with icing while hot. I use the powdered icing sugar recipe from Better Homes and Garden and make sure it is thin.

Hearty Chicken Bake

this is a new favorite of mine and you can make it really fast.

3 cups hot mashed potatoes ( I use potato buds and make 6-7 servings)
1 cup shredded cheese
1 can ( 2.8 oz) french fried onions
1.5 cups of cubed chicken
1 pkg (10 oz) frozen mixed veggies
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper

preheat oven to 375. In medium bowl, combine mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup cheese, and 1/2 cup french fried onions. Spoon mixture into greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Using back of spoon spread potatoes across bottom and up side of dish to form a shell.In large bowl combine chicken, vegetables, soup, milk, and seasoning. Pour into potato shell.Bake uncovered for 30 min. top with remaining cheese and onions and bake uncovered for 3 min or so. Let stand before serving.

-I usually put all the onions in the potato shell. I add way more cheese to the top ofcourse.

Ham and Broccoli Stromboli

1 pkg refrigerated pizza dough
1 can of cream of celery soup
1-2 cups cooked chopped broccoli
1-2 cups cubed cooked ham
2 cups of shredded cheese

1. Preheat oven to 400. Unroll dough onto greased baking sheet. Se aside.
2. Mix soup, broccoli, and ham. Spread mixture down center of dough. Top with cheese. Foldalong sides of dough over filling and pinch to seal.
3. Bake for 20 min. Slice and serve.

I also do a pizza version of this. Spread pizza sauce in the middle and add whatever pizza ingredients I want. My family loves this version the best.
