Savory Bbq Chicken, Bacon & Cheese Rolls

Tonight I concocted a new recipe and it received 5 gold stars from each of my family members & a request that I make it again next week. I'd say that makes it a hit with my fam! ;) It's such a simple recipe, takes less than 10 minutes to make and can easily be adapted to just about any preference or adjusted around allergies. Busy mommas, this recipe is bound to hit it out of the park with any bread lover in your family & help you get a delicious dinner on the table in under 30 minutes!  

Since I happened to have a lot of shredded chicken leftover from a meal the other night that's what I used, however pulled pork or shredded beef could easily be substituted in these scrumptious savory rolls. Tonight I made them with a bbq sauce, but I plan to make half with ranch and half with a homemade sauce next time, to change them up a bit. What I liked most about these simple rolls is that I can make them with any meat I happen to have on hand & the topping and sauce options are endless. Which means tons of variety & plenty of opportunities to give my family a "twist" on a family favorite from time to time. Score!🙌

INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE SHREDDED Chicken or PORK  ROLLS

  • Refrigerated flaky, sweet hawaiian rolls or crescent dough (*I used 2 cans of Pillsbury sweet hawaiian rolls so there were 4 for each of us. 2 for dinner and 2 for lunch the next day.)
  • Shredded chicken or pulled/shredded pork
  • Cheddar or Colby jack cheese, shredded
  • Cooked Turkey Bacon Slices, chopped into 2-3 inch pieces
  • BBQ Sauce (other options; Ranch, Italian dressing, honey mustard, parmesan cheese etc.)

HOW TO MAKE BBQ Shredded Chicken & Bacon or PULLED PORK Rolls/CRESCENTS

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease a baking sheet (or place directly onto non stick pans).
  2. Carefully split each roll in half, leaving just the ends connected. If using crescent dough: unroll crescent dough and separate into individual triangles.
  3. Spread a thin layer of BBQ sauce on each half or each triangle of the crescent rolls.
  4. Add warm shredded chicken & a 2-3 inch slice of bacon or pulled pork to each roll (crescent).
  5. Drizzle a dollop of BBQ sauce on top of meat.
  6. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese to each roll/crescent.
  7. Fold rolls in half, placing the top half on the bottom and gently press edges together to help hold everything in. If making crescents: Roll up the crescent around the meat/cheese combo.
  8. Bake about 10-12 minutes, until golden brown. Check on rolls about half way through and rotate baking sheet/pan. 
  9. Remove from oven, allow to cool for 2 minutes and serve while warm. 
  10. Serve with a side salad, side of steamed veggies or fruit salad. 
  11. Enjoy!! :)
Let me know how this goes with your crew & if it was as big of a hit as it was with mine. If you make adjustments or alterations I'd love to know what you used. Drop me a note in the comments & share any tips or changes you made so we can all try it too. 😀

*These would be great as a side dish or appetizer as well.

Happy cooking,

Fun extracurricular activity ideas & learning opportunities to add to your home-school plans

Hello again friends,  In my last post I shared a list of over 170 field trip ideas to help get your creative juices running and thought today I would share a list of some of our favorite extracurricular activities, life lessons and fun learning opportunities that we have incorporated into our school life over the past 6 1/2 years.  I'm also including a fun list of things you may enjoy or want to try for the holidays. Especially since this year has been so different than every other year (thanks to Covid-19) I think it could be a really great year to find some new activities or traditions to try with our family and hope you might find some fun ones you want to try as well. obviously not all of these will be available in every area or at all this year due to everything surrounding the corona virus craziness in our country.  My hope is that you will find at least one new thing that looks like fun or peeks your interest and that it will help your family make some fun memories...
