  1. I make mine the same way except I always add a can of peas and a can of carrots to give my kids vegies when they were young.

  3. I make this exactly like this. I will sometimes add small can of peas. This is the easiest way to make this and tastes just as good, if not better, than other recipes of the same. (I also use my shears!)

    • If making this for a pot luck would there be enough or should I increase the biscuits.

  4. I make mine like you do, except I use my pizza cutter to cut them in fourths.
