I completely love the simplicity of canned dough and how it brings homestyle cooking to the table in an absolute flash.

10 Incredible Recipes With Canned Biscuits
1. Blueberry Biscuit Pull-Aparts
These sweet pull aparts taste exactly like a combination of blueberry muffins and fluffy scones. You get all of that bakery flavor with a tiny fraction of the mess.
The recipe specifically calls for Pillsbury blueberry biscuits, but it is ridiculously easy to use regular buttery biscuits and mix in fresh or frozen blueberries yourself. Honestly any kind of berry works beautifully in these simple treats.
2. Bacon-Cheese Pull-Aparts
You will completely wow the crowd at your next breakfast or brunch gathering with this incredibly tasty dish. Picture crumbled bacon, cheese, egg, and green onion all piled high into a warm casserole dish. It is comfort food at its absolute finest.
You can easily make this pull apart breakfast in a muffin tin instead of a pan if you lower the oven time and watch for that golden brown crust.
3. Air Fryer Unsloppy Joes Biscuit Pockets
I am always looking for different ways to use ground beef as I get older.
These unsloppy joes are a seriously perfect pocket of flavor and they offer a super family friendly dinner solution. You get saucy meat packed right into a flakey and buttery biscuit.
Traditional sloppy joes usually lack veggies, so I highly recommend mixing in carrots or finely chopped spinach for a balanced meal.
4. Grands!™ Chicken and Dumplings
You can absolutely call me midwestern because I simply cannot resist a generous serving of chicken and dumplings.
This incredibly easy recipe uses Grands dough to create a thick and satisfying meal. It brings the absolute best heartwarming taste of homemade food straight to your table in almost no time.
This creamy soup tastes fantastic on its own, but serving it alongside fried okra will definitely make you feel like a southern belle.
5. Mini Garlic Monkey Bread
Sticky monkey bread is such a classic way to use up refrigerated dough. This version brings a savory twist to the table and makes the absolute perfect addition to your next brunch spread.
I think these garlicky and buttery bites are a scrumptious and filling way to liven up plain biscuits. You can even bake them right in a muffin tin if you want the ultimate finger food for your next party.
6. Broccoli Cheese Bombs
I am honestly sorry it took me so long to share these buttery broccoli cheese bombs with you.
The vegetarian cheesy broccoli filling is incredibly easy and downright scrumptious. It bakes up warm and comforting inside a perfect little pocket of dough.
Throwing in some cubed ham is a great way to add extra protein for a wonderfully balanced dinner.
7. Easy Pepperoni Rolls
Pillsbury biscuit dough is honestly the most perfect pepperoni pocket maker. This recipe requires just a handful of simple ingredients and makes the most fantastic party food.
I love the finger friendliness of these little rolls, and kids always have a wildly fun time making their own. Feel free to add your favorite pizza toppings and dip these buttery beauties straight into warm marinara.
8. Breakfast Casserole with Biscuits
Breakfast casseroles are the absolute perfect brunch food and this particular dish really means business. You only need four easy ingredients like Pillsbury biscuits, sausage, eggs, and your favorite cheese.
The simplicity is totally unparalleled but I highly encourage adding in extra ingredients to make it your own. Tossing in spinach, broccoli, bacon, or even a ladle of southern gravy will fantastically shake up this morning special.
9. Easy Parmesan Knots
Promise me you will make these cheesy knots if you are ever craving restaurant quality bread at home. Tying little twists with refrigerated biscuit dough is so much easier than messing with handmade dough.
Best of all, these are ready to serve in just 15 minutes. You probably already have every single ingredient sitting right in your kitchen.
10. Sweet Empanadas With Cherry Cheesecake Filling
I am almost certain my childhood was built on a very sturdy cheesecake foundation.
These sweet cherry cheesecake empanadas are ready in under 30 minutes and taste absolutely incredible. Just mix up your creamy filling and spoon it right onto separated layers of canned biscuits before pressing them together to bake.
You can easily swap the cherry for leftover cranberry sauce or apple pie filling to create an easy winter treat.
