Ingredients
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees, and prepare a sheet pan with a silpat or parchment paper.
2. In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a dough hook combine the hot water, sugar and yeast. Let sit and rise until puffy, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the garlic powder, salt and olive oil and begin mixing on low. Add the flour 1 cup at a time and mix until you have a smooth soft dough, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove the dough hook and pat the dough into a ball. Lightly grease a bowl and place the dough in it, cover with a dishtowel and set in a warm place until the dough doubles, about an hour.
5. Divide the dough into 16 even pieces.
6. Pull each little piece of dough apart and stuff with a few little balls of fresh mozzarella, and then crease closed in a ball.
7. Place the buns on the prepared sheet pan, and brush generously with melted butter (there will be some left over, set it aside.)
8. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of each bun.
9. Bake the buns for about 12 minutes, until pale golden on top.
10. When the buns come out, brush them with the remaining melted butter and serve hot!

1 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth (low sodium is best)
1/4 cup (half of a stick) butter, melted
2 cups Bisquick
1 1/2 cups milk
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 cups frozen mixed veggies (allow to thaw for about 30 minutes before adding to recipe)
1 chicken bouillon cube (use 2 ONLY if using unsalted butter, low-sodium broth/stock and/or low-sodium cream of chicken soup)
Pepper
How to Make It
first step: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
second step: Warm chicken stock in a small sauce pan and add in the bouillon cube to dissolve. Keep warm until ready to use.
third step: Lightly coat with non-stick spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish or large, round casserole dish (mine was a 12" round). Pour in the melted butter.

Pie crusts for two pies
5-6 russet potatoes-cooked and mashed-plain
I start boiling the potatoes while I am making the meat mixture. I don't want them cold
2 lbs ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 large onion diced
1-2 tablespoons Poultry seasoning (Bells)
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon butter
some milk
S & P
How to Make It
Pre heat oven to 375
Prepare and line the pie crusts on two pie plates
In large fry pan melt butter and add onion to cook until translucent. Add ground pork first and cook a couple of minutes then add hamburg and cook until meat is no longer pink. If there is a lot of fat drain some out but leave a little for flavor
Add some of the mashed potatoes, just enough to bind the meat together, you might not use all of it. Then ground cloves, S & P , then poultry seasoning. This is to taste and you have to have enough to taste it in the pie-this seasoning is the secret. You might have to add extra.
Once you have it to where you like it - fill the pies and top
with crust. Make slits for cooking and brush with a little milk to help crusts brown.
Bake for 1 hour until crust is nice and brown. Cut and serve while hot. Our favorite topping is ketchup!
The extra pie once it cools wrap in aluminum foil to freeze. I like to cut it into separate slices and freeze each slice to take out and use only as much as I need. — with Pam Plante.

Chop bacon and cook in a skillet till crispy, drain grease and remove bacon to a bowl, set aside.

Add the bacon (leave a few pieces to garnish at the end), ham, swiss cheese, 1/2 C. of cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. In a casserole dish or cast iron skillet as I used, grease generously with butter.

Pour the egg mixture over the dough and place in the oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until set. Remove and top with a little extra bacon pieces and remaining cheese. Return to oven to melt the cheese, about 2-3 minutes.
