Ingredients
- 1 package of biscuits

- Top with shredded cheese before baking for a cheesy twist.
Storage
Store leftover casserole covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat portions in the microwave or oven until warmed through. The biscuits may soften after storage but will still be delicious.
