Seafood Bombs
Added on Jun 19, 2026
1 can (18.8 ounces) Campbell’s® Chunky® OLD BAY® Seasoned Clam Chowder
1 can (about 6 ounces) lump crabmeat, drained
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/3 cup sliced green onion (scallion)
2 cans (16.3 ounces each) jumbo-size biscuit dough (8 biscuits per can)
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons OLD BAY® SEAFOOD SEASONING

Stir the soup, crabmeat, cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, bacon and onion in a large bowl. Separate the biscuit dough (8 biscuits per can for 16 total). Split each biscuit in half (can pull apart with your hands). Roll each half into a 4-inch circle. Place about 1 tablespoon soup mixture in the center of each circle. Pull the sides up over the filling to form a ball and press to seal. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Mix the butter and OLD BAY®. Set the air fryer to 350°F. (no need to preheat). Air-fry in batches, seam-side down, (8 bombs at a time) for 7 minutes per batch or until golden brown. Remove from the air-fryer and brush with the butter mixture (then keep warm in a 300°F. oven). Serve warm.

Shoyu Corned Beef & Onions
Added on Jun 18, 2026
1 (12 oz.) can corned beef
1 large sweet Maui or Vidalia onion, sliced
1/4 cup shoyu (soy sauce)
1 tbsp. brown sugar (or to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper

In a large pan or pot, add the canned corned beef. The beef will have enough natural fat, so no extra oil is needed. Sauté and break the meat into small pieces. Gather the crumbled corned beef in the center of the pan and layer the sliced onions on top. Sprinkle the brown sugar and pepper, then pour the shoyu over the mound. Lower the heat, cover the pan, and simmer for about 10 minutes until the onions are translucent and tender. Mix everything together, let it cook for another minute, and serve hot over a steaming mound of rice.
