From cheesy biscuit cups to sticky monkey bread, these canned biscuit recipes make every meal easier and more delicious.
Canned biscuits are delicious without any alterations. The fluffy texture and flaky layers are just at home on a breakfast plate with sausage gravy as they are at dinner with a platter of fried chicken. But like any good shortcut ingredient, they can also be cut, rolled, flattened and used in so many different canned biscuit recipes that you could try a new one every week. This collection explores all the creative ideas for canned biscuits, so you can make a snack, dinner or side dish without much work or planning.
We chose these recipes to highlight the various ways you can transform biscuit dough. In easy dinner ideas, like chicken a la king or sloppy joe pie, biscuits are baked right on top of savory fillings until golden brown and crisp. For something sweet, brown sugar, jam or chocolate turn biscuits into sticky pull-apart treats or filled doughnuts. You can also keep things simple and brush biscuit tops with butter and Parmesan, for an easy side.
If you think of biscuit dough as a blank, bread canvas, it’s easy to let your imagination run free. Use the ideas here for quick, creative 5-ingredient appetizers to serve at parties and gatherings or as simple after-school snacks. Make them your own by swapping mild cheese for a spicy version, or replacing dried herbs with fresh. It may not look like much, but that can of biscuits can easily become your best breakfast, dinner or dessert yet.

Canned Biscuit Recipes FAQ
What are some quick meals I can make with canned biscuits?
You can use canned biscuits to make a fast topping for potpies and skillet bakes, or roll them out and fill them for savory hand pies. These recipes come together quickly and are easy to customize with whatever you have on hand, like shredded chicken, frozen vegetables or deli meat and cheese. Flattened canned biscuits can also become an instant pizza crust for the toppings of your choice.
Can I use canned biscuits to make desserts?
Yes, canned biscuits are delicious in desserts, like fruit cobbler recipes, sticky buns, hand pies and fluffy doughnuts. Roll the dough in cinnamon sugar, layer it with fruit and whipped cream or stuff it with chocolate or jam for a gooey center. You can also slice and spiral biscuit dough with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter and finish with a glaze for a quick cinnamon roll. The slightly salty taste of canned biscuit dough stands up to sweet fillings and glazes without becoming cloying.
What dishes can I make using leftover canned biscuits?
Leftover canned biscuits can be used to make quick sandwiches, appetizers or snacks. Split cooked biscuits, toast them and fill with anything from scrambled eggs and cheese to ham and pepper jelly. Or, leave them open-faced and top with tomato sauce and mozzarella for a pizza-flavored snack. If you have a lot of day-old biscuits, tear them into chunks to make easy summer breakfast casseroles or bread pudding.
