Last night, I tweaked a recipe for my Hungry Jill Casserole, a combo of barbecue beans, TVP, and fluffy whole wheat biscuits:
The recipe is another adaptation of an old omni dish called Hungry Jack Casserole. Years ago, my mom tore the recipe out of a magazine ad for Hungry Jack biscuits. It called for canned Hungry Jack brand biscuits, ground burger, beans, and cheese. She made it every once in awhile for dinner and I loved it!
My version uses my recipe for whole wheat buttermilk biscuits, chopped into little half-moons and baked on top of the beans and TVP "beef." This time, I topped it with Cheddar Teese, but I've made it without cheeze too ... it's good either way.
By the way, the Cheddar Teese is quite tasty. Not as good as the mozzerella, but still good.
On the side, I made another cookbook dish — Mess O' Greens with Turnips:
It's collards and diced turnips cooked in my special way with plenty of hot sauce and smoky bacon flavor. My Granny always puts turnips in her greens and the two veggies complement one another quite well.
As I type, it's only hours away from the Vernal Equinox — the first day of Spring!!!! Happy Springtime everybody! And Friday is also National Meatout Day! Yea for vegetarians!

It all looks delicious... as usual!
Hooray for spring! I'm going to celebrate with colorful food :)
I see that you use Teese often. I have tried Teese and it tasted fine unbaked, but once I baked it on a pizza it became watery and had a very weird texture. Can you tell me what I did wrong? Is there a trick that I am missing? I just put it on a homemade pizza and baked it. Do you need to lower the temp or something?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!
OMG! That looks so good! Can't wait for your cookbook to get a biscuit recipe, I need some good biscuits!
That casserole sounds so good! Your book is going to rock the casbah, Bianca!
Your recipes are always so fun!! :-D
I really would like to know how collards taste like. Are they similar to kale? Can you imagine they aren't available in Germany?
You always post things I've never had, and then you make me want them! Not to mention, biscuits are one of my most favoritest foods ever!
Yum yum...I am excited about your cookbook!
I just read your profile. Its really admirable for someone to be Vegan when she grew up in the region where Paula Deen grew up!!!! hats off ;)

OMG I cannot wait for this recipe and the tempeh recipe you mentioned in an earlier post! They look delicious!:)
Your casserole looks delicious. I haven't really ventured into the vegan "cheese" world, but your dish makes it look tempting!
Oh yes! I am just about to make your biscuits from your recipe testing blog! :)
Thanks for sending "Stupid Chancy" some much needed karma cooties. That idiot takes karma too lightly!
Happy Springtime!!
Bianca!!! Shout out to your mamma for pulling those page out! Love the look of that recipe. I would give anything for the greens - they are actually really hard to find here! Yum Yum!
casseroles are so much fun! i love just throwing everything into one dish :)
Hungry Jack Casserole sounds really good for some reason, but your Hungry Jill version looks a spazillion times better. And of course a mess o'greens always sounds fantastic.
Greens, please!
It looks yummy.
Great recipe.
