Red Bunny and I are having a great time reading all of your comments and dreaming of all the new places he might call home. (Notice I said he — I found it such fun to see some people call him a she and some a he. For some reason, I’ve always thought of my bunnies as “he’s.” Unless they have pink in them. Maybe it’s that whole sticking pins in him thing. And by the way, I’m very touched by so many of you who are concerned that the pins might be hurting Red Bunny. We prefer to think of this treatment as accupuncture, vice VooDoo. Male bunny notwithstanding. ;-) )
Thank you all so much for all your wonderful comments. You’ve made the move fun, in spite of the little bugs here and there. As I learned a new mail tool, I managed to send an e-mail to the wrong person. Oops! And I mistakenly thought that if I did a little test post before anyone knew about the new place and then deleted it, it would be gone. Oops2. It apparently still hangs out there in the RSS feed, so bloglines picked it up. Red Bunny and I were Red Faced! And speaking of bloglines, it doesn’t seem to like the new feed, as it doesn’t keep track of subscribers. Oh well, change always brings a few hitches, no?
While Red Bunny and I hang around reading comments and preparing for the drawing (don’t forget to enter your name on the Welcome post if you’d like Red Bunny), we thought we’d share with you a favorite family recipe. It’s also a new favorite of SweetiePie’s.
Flaky Beef Buns
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/3 cup chopped green onions, including tops
1/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 T Dijon mustard
1/8 teaspoon pepper
10-oz. can Hungry Jack Refrigerated Flaky Biscuits*
1 egg, slightly beaten
Dash salt
1 T sesame seed
Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease cookie sheet. In large skillet, brown ground beef; drain. Remove from heat. Add green onions, mayonnaise, mustard and pepper; mix well. Separate dough into 10 biscuits; press or roll each to a 4-inch circle. Spoon 2 tablespoons meat mixture onto center of each circle. Bring dough up over meat mixture; pinch edges together to form buns. Place seam side down on prepared cookie sheet; brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seed. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 16 minutes or until golden brown.
*If you don’t have access to Hungry Jack biscuits, you could just use any biscuit dough (that’s American style biscuits, not cookies!), cut it into rounds and then flatten them out before filling them with the meat mixture.
I’m enjoying all of the Encyclopedia of Me posts out there, started by Cassi. I’d really love to participate, but I’ll be absent for a bit, later in the month, so I don’t think it will work. What a fun idea though!
XOXO,
Anna
Yummy! Thank you for sharing! My husband will love it, and so will I.
I love to read recipes on blogs and see the ingredients I don’t know and cannot be bought overhere. It sounds and looks like yummy!
Hi Anna, what are you using the acupuncture to treat? Does Red Bunny have a serious ailment that you should inform us of before he makes his travels? Will he need to be quarantined? If so, how long for?
Now, about these flaky beef buns, they look yummy, but what are American biscuits as opposed to cookies? Is it more like a bread dough?
Looking forward to hearing from you, your loony friend lucylockeypockeywocketsocketpersontypething x
My hubby will love this! It looks like a good lunch recipe that he can easily take to work!
These look fun! And delicious.
Yummy!!! I think I have all the ingredients except the biscuits…and they are now on my list. I love the Red Bunny and hopefully the pins won’t hurt the sweet boy!! My kittens Anna and Bailey are patiently waiting for the drawing to see if they will have a new friend!!
These buns look great! I’m going to have to add refrigerator biscuit dough to our shopping list this week. I love to bake, and my husband loves to eat. I’m sure that he’ll enjoy this recipe. Thank you! :-)
Ooh, those look yummy – thanks for the recipe!
These look sooooo good and will be trying them maybe this weekend at the lake. Nice easy recipe and thats always nice anytime :)

I think I need to go eat something. Those flaky beef buns are making my tummy growl!
Mmmmmm, yummy! I reckon you can serve this up as part of the goodie bag to go with the red bunny….if they’ll last through international travel, that is.
The buns really do look tasty and I will try them this weekend. Could they be made smaller and used for appetizers? What about adding some shredded cheese? They’d be like cheeseburger-balls-in-a-bun. And that sounds like something Lucy Locket might say. Yow… It’s catching!

I love your new look!
Thank you for this recipe. These look perfect for my son’s lunches. He likes to take something he can heat up in the microwave at work.
Hope your weekend is lovely!
