I bet you always have a can of biscuits waiting to be used. Biscuits aren’t just a quick side, they’re so much more!
Get ready to let those biscuits shine; this list of 30 canned biscuit recipes has something for everyone. They’re so versatile, so whether you’re looking for a savory meal or a sweet treat, there’s a canned biscuit recipe here for you!
1. Easy Biscuit Pizza Recipe
For deep-pan pizza enthusiasts, this one’s for you!
Sometimes, you’re just craving pizza, but you don’t have time to make the dough completely from scratch. This recipe is not for thin and crispy crust fans, though.
Load these biscuits up with cheese and pepperoni. For a semi-homemade shortcut, canned biscuits come to the rescue!
2. Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie
With a bag of frozen mixed veggies, leftover chicken, and a can of cream of chicken soup, you’re ready to make the pot pie filling!
For this dish, the biscuits are pre-baked, which prevents them from getting soggy. Simply add them to the filling’s top in a baking dish, then allow it all to finish cooking together. Or, the filling can be spooned into a bowl with biscuits on top.
3. Easy Strawberry Shortcake Recipe
With summer here, so is my strawberry garden!
This recipe for strawberry shortcake is one of my favorites because it’s so fast to make. If you’re looking to make the most of those fresh strawberries, make sure to macerate them for a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes.
When the biscuits are baking, you can add cinnamon sugar and brush them with butter.
4. Cinnamon Sugar Biscuit Bites
These biscuit bites might seem like cinnamon munchkins, but they’re biscuit bites! You only need some melted butter and cinnamon sugar for this recipe.
Once you’ve baked the biscuit bites, put them back on the baking sheet after you toss them in sugar and butter. It’s optional, but it’s suggested that you broil them to help caramelize the sugar.
5. Sausage Biscuit Bites
Instead, I flatten them out before filling them with cheese and sausage, but I’ve made these in the past. Before folding them into half-moon shapes, use some egg around the edges. Make sure to add extra cheese on top before baking until golden.
Also, a big hit was the chorizo and feta and bacon and scrambled eggs!
6. Canned Biscuit Donuts
These are just biscuits when baked with a hole. When you fry them and top them with a sweet glaze, you’ll be hard-pressed to know these aren’t from Dunkin’.
Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying these donuts, and keep the oil temperature from dropping too fast by only frying a few at a time. If you want to coat them in sugar, do so right after taking them out; wait to glaze/fill them.
7. Southern Fried Chicken Biscuit Sandwiches
Buttery biscuits against crispy fried chicken are a revelation, although I do love fried chicken and waffles. There’s just no better method to make this dish!
The spiced maple butter shouldn’t be skipped. You’ll be glad you trusted me; it makes the dish!
8. Best Chicken Ala King Recipe
Making a creamy sauce completely from scratch can be daunting for some; however, this recipe is straightforward. Whisk constantly to keep the sauce smooth; you shouldn’t see any lumps of flour left behind once it thickens.
It’s even faster if you have leftover chicken in the fridge. It’s perfect for a meal during the week!
9. Easy Monkey Bread Recipe
Looking for a last-minute dessert that will wow? It couldn’t be simpler to make this monkey bread! The most you’ll have to do is chop the biscuits and toss them in cinnamon sugar, needing just five ingredients.
This quick butter and brown sugar sauce will thicken while baking, even though it looks like you spent hours making creamy caramel.
10. Grands Ham Biscuit Sliders
If you’re a grilled cheese fan, you’ll go wild for these ham and cheese biscuit sliders!The biscuits are baked until fluffy, the cheese is melted, and the ham just starts to curl at the edges, even though they aren’t grilled.
For an elevated flavor, use Gruyere cheese and make some creamy béchamel sauce.
11. Canned Biscuit Dough Fruit Coffee Cake
This sweet cake is similar to the monkey bread from above, with some tasty upgrades.
To the cinnamon sugar, you’ll add orange zest, then throw it all in a Ziploc bag, tossing the chopped biscuits until they’re coated. You’ll then add fruit to the baking dish bottom, which could be anything from berries and peaches to chopped apples. Just make sure anything frozen is thawed and drained, so your cake doesn’t get soggy.
12. Easy Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread
It’s great to have pull-apart bread since it’s a conversation piece, and it’s ideal for a family dinner. Texture and flavor both call for cheese in this recipe. A mix of mozzarella and strong cheddar is what I like to use.
You can fill the bundt pan’s center with dip, which is great about this recipe. I believe that warm marinara is the best option!
13. Sausage Biscuit Cups
Tired of those overnight oats? You could always whip up a batch of these tasty sausage, cheese, and egg biscuit cups.
The sausage and cheese have more than enough flavor, but using cream cheese will make these extra creamy.
Making it into a casserole is another way you can serve this. Chop the biscuits into chunks like you would with monkey bread, then scatter into a baking dish. Then, cover and bake with the egg, cheese, and sausage mix!
14. Chicken Pot Pie Biscuit Skillet
I make chicken pot pie year-round since it’s the ultimate comforting dish. I like to add puff pastry or homemade pie crust when I have the time. Though, topping it with biscuits might just be my favorite option!
In one scoop, biscuits are thicker and more tender, which provides a more substantial meal. These can also be made in cute individual casserole dishes, which prevents any fighting over the biscuits!
15. Homemade Pretzels and Cheese Sauce
It can be a chore to make homemade pretzels, and I bet you’ve never thought about buying a lye solution for the kitchen, right?
I suggest taking the shortcut if you’re after a salty, chewy, tender treat that comes with velvety cheese sauce. These need to be boiled before baking in a mix of water and baking soda, instead of lye, which is what gives them that chewy signature taste.
16. Ham and Cheese Stuffed Biscuits
These little ham and cheese pillows are for you if you’re seeking something warm and cheesy you can eat on the run. Start by flattening the biscuits and putting chopped ham and cheese right in the center.
Pinch up the edges, making them seem like dinner rolls, rather than folding it over like the empanadas. Try sprinkling Everything Seasoning and brushing with garlic butter.
17. Parmesan Garlic Butter Biscuits
How often have you used garlic butter only to have the garlic that was freshly minced burn? I’m sure it’s too many times to count! This recipe is ideal!
Instead of brushing the garlic butter over the biscuits, you’ll put it in the baking dish first, allowing it to sit beneath the dough. Brush them with extra once they’re baked, and enjoy!
18. Easy Cheese Bomb Bread
Everyone loves cheese and bread! If you ask me, they’re a match, and these little cheese bombs will blow your mind.
Why make dinner rolls completely from scratch (which involves hours of mixing and proofing) when you can just pop a can of biscuits and fill them with cheese? Mozzarella will provide you with that fantastic cheese pull, but try using brie to elevate these.
19. Apple Pie Biscuit Casserole
This recipe is definitely dangerous.Sweet, spiced, and ready to pop in the oven in just ten minutes?You’ve been notified!
You’ll start by bulking out the yummy apple pie filling with sugar, butter, cinnamon, and vanilla.
The texture of the biscuits baking between the layers of fruit filling is what I love most about this.If you want some texture, though, you can always put them on top like a cobbler instead.
20. Mini-Garlic Monkey Bread
These mini-monkey breads might be something you want to make instead of one big tear-and-share loaf if your family is large. That way, everyone has their own, and no one will fight over the last bite with crossed forks!
The classic garlic butter and Parmesan flavor will please everyone. Or, you could try coating the biscuits with a ranch dressing mix, or splashing in some hot sauce with the butter to take things to the next level!
21. Easy Louisiana Biscuit Beignets
You’ll make the dough, fry it off, and douse them in what seems like more powdered sugar than is possible: that’s a beignet! There aren’t any over-the-top glazes or fancy fillings: just simple donuts with powdered sugar.
What if you made up a batch with canned biscuits? No one would know if you topped them with sufficient sugar.
22. Buffalo Chicken Biscuit Bake
I was a bit skeptical about this recipe initially. It’s basically buffalo chicken dip topped with biscuits, right? Yes, but it’s delicious!
I definitely think this needs more cheese, and I added sweet corn to make myself believe it’s a little healthier.
23. Sloppy Joe Biscuit Casserole
When it comes to Sloppy Joe’s, casseroles can be a real shortcut and are great for feeding a crowd. This recipe is similar to shepherd’s pie.
On the bottom, add plenty of the rich and meaty filling; be sure to top with cheese and biscuits. For some heat, I scatter some chopped jalapeños over the cheese before adding the chopped biscuits on top.
24. Easy Chicken and Dumplings with Biscuits
But I think the biscuit option is best for my chicken and dumplings, even though dumplings are usually dense. They’ll cook right in the chicken filling, which will make them tender and dense.
Although they won’t rise too much, they will rise a bit, which makes them a bit lighter than typical dumplings. Make sure to use buttermilk biscuits, or they’ll rise too much.
25. Cinnamon Roll Bites
However, who has the time to make the dough a day ahead and wake up early to bake them, even though cinnamon rolls are widely loved? Why not just use canned biscuits and a lot of cream cheese glaze instead of toiling away for hours?
Try making some cinnamon butter in your mixer: beat some butter with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a bit of honey. Then, put the butter on top and stack the biscuits in the baking dish instead of cutting them.
26. Easy Garlic Breadsticks
How about some breadsticks that are simple instead? No time to mess around with garlic knots? That butter mix from above would be just as delicious with these; however, melted butter and garlic salt are all you’ll need if you want to keep this recipe simple.
I want mine to touch when baking, so I arrange them close together on the tray. There is a beautiful fluffy edge and a nice crust on top from this.
27. Easy Garlic Parmesan Knots
It’s just not possible for me to go to a pizza parlor without getting garlic knots. That garlic flavor is incredibly strong, and they’re so buttery and tender. I may even like them more than pizza!
When remaking them at home, there are six must-have ingredients. Start with melted butter, then mix in salt, fresh Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and parsley.
Brush the dough before baking, then again when they’re out of the oven for the most flavor.
28. Cheeseburger Biscuit Cups
I’ve noticed that kids will grab their food wherever possible, which is something I’ve noticed about them. Why bother with forks, right? These cheeseburger cups are a hit because of that!
Maintain a kid-friendly recipe with just ground beef and cheese; or, with chopped bacon, chili jam, and blue cheese, go for something more elevated.
29. Ham Potato Puffs
Adding mashed potato and ham to biscuit cups might not be your first thought, but I swear it’s worth a try!
Since everything is cooked already, you’ll only cook the biscuits here. If you want to wow, try piping the mashed potato on top like frosting. In the oven, it’ll turn golden, and they’ll look so cute.
30. Monkey Bread Muffins
These monkey bread muffins are tasty and sticky, which are just as good for on-the-go snacking even if you don’t have a bundt pan!
Since these will be much smaller, smaller biscuit pieces will help you fit more into the muffin pan.
