Made this recipe tonight with one major modification...I don't like my biscuits cooked on top of dishes (can't stand the soggy bottoms!) so I cooked them separately. Both the ham and the biscuits were delicious served with Baked Sweet Potato Fries. This was a wonderful meal that was came together quickly and was super easy to prepare. Thanks for a great recipe!

The original recipe (circa 1960s) includes 1 tablespoon lemon juice in the pie mix, it gives a tang that makes the dish unique. The pie mix is great served over toast points, fried potatoes and grits. This has been a favorite in my family since 1994 when I received the recipe.

As I love dumplings and also biscuits, this makes a unique hybrid: biscuits on top and dumplings on the bottom. For this reason I prepare the recipe in a large iron skillet, and immediately place the biscuits on top, and transfer into the oven to bake the tops of the biscuits.<br/><br/>I also use about double the green peppers, 1 &1/2 times the onion, and a tiny bit of garlic. I find the recipe the most successful use of cooked bell peppers I have ever found. (except perhaps for certain hot dogs with stewed onions and peppers - another admittedly different story.) The flavors are phenomenal. Swiss or aged cheddar or a combination can be used for cheese biscuits.

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
