5 Minute Dinner

My boyfriend has named this meal the '5 Minute Dinner.'  It literally takes 5 minutes of prep time and is easy-peasy!

Cheesy Garlic Biscuits (adapted from joyfulabode.com)

Biscuits: 
2 c. Bisquick
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. parsley
1/2 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
1 1/2 c. shredded cheese (I used Mozzarella and Cheddar)
2/3 c. milk
Topping:
4 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. garlic salt
1 tsp. parsley

Biscuits:  Combine all dry ingredients, then add milk.  Drop by tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheet.  Bake at 400 for about 15 minutes, or until slightly brown- make sure not to over-do them!  When finished baking, pour topping over the top.

Topping:  In the last few minutes of baking, melt all ingredients together in a microwave-safe dish.  When biscuits are finished baking, place them in a large bowl and pour the butter mixture over the top.


Easiest-Ever Baked Pasta

1 pkg. pasta, any kind you like (I used shells)
1 jar pasta sauce, any kind you like (I used Barrilla Tomato and Herb)
1 1/2 cups cheese (I used Mozzarella and Parmesan)

Cook pasta according to package directions.  Drain pasta and combine with entire jar of pasta sauce and 1 cup of cheese.  Spread into 9x13 baking dish and top with remaining cheese.  Bake at 400 for 15 minutes.

Biscuits:
 Ingredients
mix all of the dry ingredients together, then add the milk
the dough will be super sticky, and should look like this
the biscuits don't spread much during baking, so place them about an inch apart
in the last few minutes of baking, put all of the topping ingredients into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about a minute
