Failure to Update

Sorry, I just realized that the updates I posted yesterday to the weekly ads did not work. I don't know why, I just know that they didn't!! So, they are current now.

Recipe Request

Chix Rollups
1 can biscuits
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 cup cheddar cheese
Press biscuits flat. Put a spoonful of cooked chicken in the center of each. Bring the top and bottom of the biscuit together and press to seal. Turn roll up over, seam side down in the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Do this for all 10 biscuits. Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits are just beginning to turn brown. Remove from oven. Mix the soup and milk together with a whisk. Pour over the chix roll ups. Sprinkle with the cheddar cheese. Return to oven and bake for another 20 minutes.
