Yes. Make a beef biscuit pie. You can take the ground beef and brown it,
along with onion and green pepper if you have it. If you have a bag of

I''ve done this for many years with no ill effects, and no lack in quality

sometimes it does change the texture of your cookies. Not sure that it

Take care.

I tend to use the microwave just to save time. However, either way can
work. If you use the microwave just remember to stir on occasion as it
cooks to avoid hot and cold spots. In the oven, I would cover it so the top
of your casserole doesn't dry out. Just a couple thoughts.
