Tips & Tricks
-
- Prepare the pan really well by spraying it thoroughly with nonstick baking spray.
-
- Cover every biscuit piece in the second layer with the sauce. This will help the pieces brown evenly and stay moist.
-
- Only let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes before flipping it over. If it cools too long it will get stuck in the pan.
-
- Occasionally bits of the topping stay in the pan once it is flipped over. Don't worry about it! Just scoop it out and spread it from where it was missing. Chances are you will not be able to tell. It all just blends in.
Hint: How to tell when it is done baking? I find that the best way to know when it's done baking is to go by visual cues. The top should be quite golden brown and looking baked. Gently pull back a middle piece and look down in where it connects to the other pieces. It is done if the small pieces inside are moist but not raw. If any part is still looking raw it will need a while longer.
Make-Ahead Instructions
- Prepare through step 5. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Pull out of the refrigerator as the oven is preheating. Uncover and bake as instructed. The cooking time might need to be increased by a few minutes depending on how cold it was going into the oven.
