7-Up and Tots

I recently came across two recipes that peaked my curiosity simply based on their names - 7-Up Biscuits and Zucchini Tots. Now I have heard of using 7-Up to make a delicious lemony cake. In fact that is one of my favorite cakes. However, I've never heard of 7-Up Biscuits. Apparently, this recipe and similar recipes have been floating around the internet for a while. So I had to try it.

7-Up Biscuits (adapted from All Recipes)

4 cups Bisquick

1 cup sour cream

1 cup 7-up

½ cup butter, melted

1. Place butter in pan and allow to melt in the oven as the oven warms up.

2. Mix Bisquick, sour cream and 7-Up. Dough will be sticky.

3. Slowly add a little Bisquick at a time while kneading the dough until it becomes easy to handle.

4. Cut out the biscuits and place on top of melted butter. Bake at 425° for 12-15 minutes or until brown.

The second recipe's name drew my attention simply by the word "tots." I'm a huge fan of tater tots and have even made homemade tots. The fact it used zucchini was a plus. I'm always looking for different ways to use this abundant summer veggie.

Zucchini Tots (adapted from Skinny Taste)

1 cup zucchini, grated

1 egg

¼ onion, diced

¼ cup cheddar cheese, grated

¼ cup panko bread crumbs

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Place grated zucchini on paper towel and squeeze as much access water as possible.

2. Place in a bowl and add remaining ingredients.

3. Spray a mini muffin pan and fill each section with the zucchini mixture. Fill each section to the top.

4. Bake at 375° for 16-18 minutes or until golden brown.

 

Both of these recipes made the "keeper" lists in this house.

 Enjoy...
