I'm not sure about the biscuit topping. I might try using a different type of topping instead.

This casserole was easy to make and it tasted great! I used a pre-made biscuit mix to save time and it turned out perfect.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra Italian seasoning and garlic powder and it was much better.

The biscuit topping was a little dry for my taste, but the rest of the casserole was delicious. I'll try using a different biscuit recipe next time.

I've made this casserole twice now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The flavors are so well-balanced and the biscuity topping is irresistible.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The biscuity topping was a great contrast to the cheesy, saucy filling. I will definitely be making this again.
