reynolds wrap foil |

1 lb ground pork |
1 (8 ounce) can biscuit dough (2 8 oz. cans crescents if you prefer a little more richness, they cane be used on the bottom too!) |
4 slices bacon |
2 ounces monterey jack cheese |
2 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese |
1 ounce sharp cheddar cheese |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
1 medium onion, finely diced |
1 green bell pepper, finely diced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 cup honey |
Directions:
1. Brown beef and pork in skillet with a dash of salt and pepper (not in ingredient list). Drain, set aside.
2. Cook bacon in skillet until crisp. Remove bacon and dry on paper towels, leaving bacon fat in skillet (approx. 3 tbsp.).

4. Add beef and pork to onion/pepper mixture in skillet, and heat through.
5. Add heavy cream and cook on low until reduced by half. Stir in nutmeg.

7. Add crumbled bacon and stir, as to not let it get too mushy. .
8. Line a deep 9 pit plate or 8 X 13 casserole dish with Reynold's Wrap foin (non-stick preferred, but heavy duty will be just fine).
9. Fill baking dish with meat mixture (if using crescents, skip to next step firts, then this return to this step).
10. Remove biscuits (or crescents) from can and pinch together to form a full sheet (if using crescents, they can be used on the bottom of the pie or casserole dish, then return to prior step, then top with more crescents).
11. Cover meat mixture with biscuit sheet, and brush very lightly with honey and top with a pinch of salt (not too much).
12. Bake at 350 for approx 30 minutes (depending on oven and if you use crescents on bottom :45 minutes for crescent suppliment).
