53 Recipes That Prove You Should Always Have Store-Bought Canned Biscuits In Your Fridge (1)

We love to bake, but we’ll be the first to say it—sometimes, we just can’t be bothered with all the measuring of ingredients (with a scale, no less??), the rolling out of pie crust, or waiting for bread dough to rise. Can you relate? If so, these shortcut hacks using one of our favorite store-bought ingredients are for you. Like a tube of crescent roll dough or a bag of pizza dough before it, a can of biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands) is about to become your new best friend. Check out these 55 biscuit dough hacks to see what we mean, then add some to your grocery list STAT.

Store-bought biscuit dough is also super versatile. You can use it to make pull-apart breads, like our breakfast monkey bread, our maple bacon pull-apart bread, or our babka monkey bread. They’re also wonderful for turning into easy-to-assemble, bite-sized bombs, like our breakfast bombs, our cranberry brie bombs, or our buffalo chicken bombs. They also make great pretzels—all you need is a little baking soda for that classic flavor, and biscuit dough makes a pretty legitimate facsimile of the ballpark or street vendor fave in our soft pretzel bites or our cheesy pretzel twists.

It can also just be…biscuits! Our , our chicken pot pie casserole, our , and our chicken ‘n’ biscuit sliders all let them shine just as they are. Which do you prefer? Biscuits in disguise, or as a shortcut to a quick and easy meal or snack that doesn’t involve any mixing or kneading? Let us know in the comments below!
