For the breakfast pizzas I used crescent dough sheets for the crust. I just baked them in the oven until they were done and then I added the "pizza" toppings! Here's the gravy recipe:
Sausage Gravy Recipe:
1 pound sausage, hot or mild
4 Tablespoons Butter
3/4 cup all purpose flour
milk, amount depends on how thick you like your gravy

Cook sausage in a large skillet until done. Remove sausage from pan, but leave the drippings! Turn heat down to medium. Add butter and let it melt. Add flour and mix well. Start adding milk a little at a time and mix until smooth. Continue adding milk until you get it where you want it. When it's ready you can add the sausage back into the gravy.

After I put on the toppings I just stuck them in the oven at 350° for about 3-5 minutes, until the cheese was melted.

Slow Cooker Beef Stew with Dumplings recipe:

Ingredients:
2-3 pounds stew meat
2-3 TB flour
2-4 cups beef broth, depending on how much stew meat you use
3 TB tomato past, use more if you use more meat
2-3 TB Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste
2 onions, chopped
1 1/2 cups carrots, sliced or chopped

For the Dumplings:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 ⅓ cups heavy cream

( NOTE: Don't make the dumplings until after the cook time is up.:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and cream. Stir until mixture comes together..
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, form the dough into small round balls and add to the slow cooker.)

Coat the stew meat in the flour and set aside. Add beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to slow cooker and set to high, or low if you are cooking on low. Add the chopped onions and carrots. Stir, and then add in the stew meat. Cover and cook on high for 5 hours, or low for 8 hours. When cook time is up make the dumplings and add them to the slow cooker. Cover and cook for one more hour.
