4-Ingredient Cheesy Pull-Apart Potluck Casserole
Ingredients
Ingredient Amount
Refrigerated biscuit dough (homestyle or buttermilk) 2 cans (16 oz each)
Shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend) 3 cups
Salted butter, melted 1/2 cup
Garlic powder 1 tbsp
Just four ingredients—that’s all it takes to make a dish that disappears the moment it hits the buffet table.
How to Make This Easy Potluck Casserole
1. Get the Oven Ready
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly
coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin swipe of butter. This helps the casserole release easily once baked.
2. Cut the Biscuits
Open both cans of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Cut each one into four small pieces—kitchen scissors make this quick work if you prefer not to use a knife.
3. Mix the Garlic Butter
In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and garlic powder.
If you only have garlic salt, reduce the amount to about 2 teaspoons so the dish doesn’t turn too salty.
4. Coat the Biscuit Pieces
Drop all the biscuit pieces into the bowl and gently toss them around until every piece is glossy with garlic butter. You can stir with a spoon, but using your hands ensures a more even coating.
5. Build the Casserole
Spread half of the coated biscuit pieces across the bottom of your prepared dish. Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese.
Repeat the layering one more time—remaining biscuits first, then the rest of the cheese.
