Easy and delicious, make ahead luncheon or supper entree. (Easy to double or triple - as needed.)

Meat or fish suggestions: Lean hamburger, chicken-ham combination, tuna fish, canned salmon or canned shrimp and turkey.

Makes 8 servings.

1/4 c. green pepper, chopped
1/2 c. fresh mushrooms, chopped (or use canned)
2 tbsp. butter or vegetable oil
1 c. cooked ham, ground
2 c. cooked chicken or turkey, ground
1 c. chicken gravy
1 c. Sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
2 c. baking powder biscuit mix
1/2 c. milk

TOPPING:

Leftover appropriate gravy or cream soup (canned).

Stir fry onions, green pepper and fresh mushrooms in butter or oil over medium heat until onions are yellow, and peppers and mushrooms are tender-crisp.

In large mixing bowl, mix together meats. (If using hamburger, pre-brown it with the vegetables, draining off most of any cooked out fat before placing mixture in mixing bowl.) Add gravy or chicken soup diluted with 1/3 cup milk; add pre-cooked vegetable mixture and the grated cheese. Combine all together.

Stir biscuit mix and milk together until moist enough to knead. Knead 10 times, then turn out onto a well-floured board and roll out in rectangle shape, 1/4-inch thick and about 10 inches wide.

Spread meat mixture over dough almost to the edges. Begin rolling dough up from the widest edge (as for a jelly roll). Cut into 1-inch slices. Place slices flat into greased baking pans or cookie sheets, leaving ample room. Brush tops of rollups with melted butter.

Rollups may be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated at this point, or baked (uncovered) in 400°F oven (preheated) for 15 minutes or until nicely browned and appearing done.

Serve hot with a creamy gravy appropriate to the meat or fish used. Add milk or light cream to canned cream of chicken soup, cream of mushroom soup, cheese soup, shrimp or cream of celery soup. Extra grated cheese and finely chopped green or red pepper may be added for eye and taste appeal.
