FAQs

Can I prepare this casserole the night before?

Yes, you can assemble the casserole the night before, cover it tightly, and refrigerate. Bake it fresh in the morning, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time if it’s cold from the fridge.

Can I use refrigerated biscuit dough instead of canned?

Refrigerated biscuit dough can be used, but make sure to cut it into similarly sized pieces for even cooking. Adjust baking time as needed based on the dough’s thickness.
