This is a yummy recipe. You can also make homemade rolls with the roll dough.
Honey Pecan Sticky Rolls
For the rolls:
2 cups hot water
1/3 cup raw honey
1/3 cup butter softened
2 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup powdered milk
5-6 cups flour
1 egg
2 tablespoons Saf instant yeast
2⁄3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
for the filling:
1⁄4 cup butter, softened
3⁄4 cup honey
1 cup pecan halves
In a large bowl, combine first 5 ingredients along with 2 cups of flour and mix until smooth. Add egg and yeast and combine. Add 2 more cups of flour and then add additional flour, 1⁄2 cup at a time until dough pulls away from side of bowl or if kneading, until it no longer sticks to your hands and it feels smooth and satiny. Be careful not to add too much flour or the rolls will be heavy. Place dough in a greased bowl and lightly grease the top of the dough. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let rise until triple in bulk.
Grease 2 muffin tins and at the bottom of each, place 1⁄2 teaspoon butter, 1⁄2 tablespoon honey, and 3 pecan halves.
Punch down dough and let rest for 5 minutes. Divide dough into 2 equal pieces and roll out in two rectangles. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture (2/3 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, mixed together). Roll the long side of the dough up like a jelly roll and cut with string or knife into 1” slices. Place in prepared muffin tins and let rise until double in bulk. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately turn out onto large platter.

Mix together and then put in the pork and let stand while you do your side dishes. Then you can grill or bake, or whatever choice of cooking method you prefer.
I have a couple side dishes on the video. But it goes well with other things also.
Mix the ground bison together with some of the chopped garlic and spices to taste. Make in to 6 thin patties. In three of the patties make a little 'bowl' to put in the chopped filling--shallots, mushrooms, garlic, and jalapenos. Once filled place another patty on top of each. You can then grill on a BBQ or on the stove in a frying pan. Brown bottom half of the bun, place the burger on it, top with cheese and melt*, while melting the cheese brown the top of the bun. Garnish with a tomato and lettuce and serve with chips or homemade fries.
*If you're grilling you can melt the cheese on the burgers a few minutes before removing them from the grill. ENJOY
Jennifer says "This is my favorite cookie recipe. I make this often for parties, events, and sick neighbors. I put in chocolate chips but skip the raisins and nuts. It is delicious either way."
Aunt Bitsy’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
2 cups packed brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
2 cups butter, softened
4 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups flour
5 cups oatmeal, quick or regular
2 cups chocolate chips
2 cups raisins (optional)
2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Cream together brown sugar, white sugar, and butter. Add eggs and beat well. Add salt, baking powder, baking soda, and vanilla. Mix well. Add flour and oatmeal. Mix in chocolate chips (and raisins and nuts, if desired). Mold dough into golf-ball size balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes—less time if you like them soft.
This recipe makes about 4 dozen cookies, but I figure if you’re going to go to the trouble of making cookies, you might as well REALLY make cookies. You can halve it if you don’t want so many.
