I've made this several times. Everyone loved them, adults and kids, and they're easy. I followed the directions exactly - the biscuits puff up in the oven - except I used more cheese - Kraft extra sharp Cracker Barrel Cheddar - because I love cheese. I like the meat mixture as it's written, but if it seems too sweet, you could cut back on the brown sugar. A platter of these little babies makes a nice addition to a Sunday brunch.

This was ok - easy to make and quick, less than 20 minutes. A mild flavor.. the adults werent crazy about it but the kids loved it. I suggest either using thick biscuits or 2 rolls as one roll was pretty thin.
