Mr. Food: Zesty Ham and Cheese Bread Squares

Serves: 12

Cooking Time: 35 min

Ingredients

• 1 (16.3-ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 1 (10.2-ounce) can refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• 1 1/2 cups salsa
• 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 3 scallions (green onions), sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
    
2. Separate biscuit dough into a total of 13 biscuits. Cut each biscuit into 6 pieces. Place in a large bowl and add salsa; toss to coat well.
    
3. Spoon mixture into prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese, ham, and scallions. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until edges are golden and center is set.
    
4. Remove from oven and let stand 15 minutes before cutting into squares.

Note

This "bake" is a perfect replacement for rolls, or simply as a bread and vegetable side dish in one. Serve it with additional salsa, if desired.
