FAQ
Can I use fresh biscuits instead of refrigerated?
Yes, fresh homemade biscuits work perfectly. Roll the dough and cut into pieces that will cover the casserole surface evenly.
What if I don't have cream of mushroom soup?
Cream of celery or cream of chicken soup work as substitutes. The flavor will be slightly different but equally delicious.
How long will leftovers keep in the refrigerator?
Store covered leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until heated through.
