1 can of Pillsbury refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 can pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (I didn’t have mozzarella cheese when I made this so I used what shredded cheese I had available)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 8 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray. Separate the dough into biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters and place into a medium sized bowl. Stir in the pizza sauce. Spoon biscuit mixture evenly into dish.

Bake 15 - 20 minutes or until light golden brown and center biscuits are no longer doughy. Sprinkle with cheese and bake about 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Cut into squares and serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

I have to remember that when I set up giveaways that I make sure I end them when I am home!  I apologize that I didn’t get a chance to do this drawing last night.  However, it is now done, and we have 3 very lucky winners!  I ended up with over 500 entries (including the extra entries).  So, without further ado, here are the winners:

And since that is super tiny — the winners are:

#506 — Michele

I will be emailing them all shortly, so make sure you head over to their blogs and congratulate them!

I love Pizza Hut.  When I heard they were coming out with the Premium Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese Tuscani Pasta, I knew we had to try it. This did not disappoint.  The rotini pasta is covered with an awesome chedder cheese sauce.  That is then topped with more cheese and bacon.  An order of the Premium Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese is about 3 pounds and should feed a family of four.  It also comes with 5 breadsticks.  This dinner is quite affordable too — it is only $12.99!  Everyone at my house truly like it.  I like how cheesy it was, my husband loved the bacon topping, Will (my one year old) could actually feed this to himself, and Madison (my four year old) just thought the whole thing was “super yummy in my tummy”.

Interested in trying this at your house?  I have been the opportunity to give not one, not two, but 3 certificates to my readers to try the Premium Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese Tuscani Pasta.  What do you have to do to win this?
