by "Recipes to Share - Slow Cooker"

Makes 8 servings.

Ingredients:

1/2 container (18 oz) refrigerated shredded cooked pork in barbecue sauce*

1 tbs Asian garlic chili sauce

1 package (about 16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 large biscuits)

Dipping sauce

Sliced green onions (optional)

*Look for pork in plain, not smoky, barbecue sauce. Substitute chicken in barbecue sauce, if desired.

Directions:

1. Combine pork and chili sauce in medium bowl. Split biscuits in half. Roll or stretch each biscuit into 4-inch circle. Spoon 1 tbs pork onto center of each biscuit. Gather edges around filling and press to seal.

2. Generously butter 2-quart baking dish that fits inside 5- or 6- quart slow cooker. Arrange filled biscuits in single layer, overlapping slightly if necessary. Cover dish with buttered foil, buttered side down.

3. Place small rack in slow cooker. Add 1 inch hot water (water should not come to top of rack). Place baking dish on rack. Cover; cook on HIGH 2 hours.

4. Meanwhile, prepare Dipping Sauce. Garnish pork buns with green onions. Serve with Dipping Sauce.

Dipping Sauce: Stir together 2 tbs rice vinegar, 2 tbs soy sauce, 4 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil in small bowl until sugar dissolves. Sprinkle with 1 tbs minced green onion (green part only) just before serving.
