Breakfast Eggs with Potato Crust
This is essentially a quiche with a hash brown crust, perfect for busy weekend mornings. Frozen shredded hash browns work best in this dish. You could use any type of grated cheese, but we like the nutty flavor Swiss cheese imparts.

Crock Pot Instructions for Southern Chicken and Biscuits
SOUTHERN CHICKEN AND BISCUITS
True comfort food! You’ll love our version of this American favorite. Juicy, lean pieces of chicken breast, along with fresh carrots, celery, potatoes and peas, are gently simmered in a creamy sauce with the perfect blend of herbs. Topped off in true Southern fashion with home-style buttermilk biscuits.
Crock Pot Directions:
Do not thaw biscuits . Bake them from frozen.
- Cook on low straight from the freezer, 6 – 8 hours and add 1/2 cup of chicken stock and 1/2 cup of white wine.
- Cooked the frozen biscuits in the oven 400 degrees, for 8 - 10 minutes then place them on top of the stew in your crock pot before serving.
If you already have the chicken mixture thawed, you can cook it in your crock pot on low for 4 -6 hours or high 2 – 3 hours, baking the biscuits in the oven just like above.
Crock Pot Temperatures: You should check you crock pot during cooking to verify the cooking temperatures. Low setting should cook foods in 4 hours to 160 – 180 degrees. High should cook the food to 160 – 200 in 3 hours. Not all crock pots cook at those even temperatures and knowing your crock pot temp will help you adjust your cooking times.
Dream Dinners Thanksgiving Dinner Recommendations
We are so glad you bought the delicious Dream Dinners Holiday Turkey because you’re in for a treat! Just a reminder, if you’re planning to serve it on Thanksgiving day, place it and your Family Favorite Sides in the refrigerator to thaw 3-5 days before.
The best way to thaw a frozen turkey is in the unopened wrapper on a tray in the refrigerator. It takes 4 hours per pound to thaw a turkey (24 hours for every 5 pounds). Your Holiday Turkey may weigh between 6-8 pounds. Never thaw a turkey at room temperature. If short on time, you may thaw the turkey in cold water in the original wrapping, cover completely with cold water, making sure the water is changed every 30 minutes to keep the turkey surface cold.
When thawing your Dream Dinner Holiday Sides, separate the individual frozen dishes from one another and place them toward the front of your refrigerator shelf for best air circulation.
