Notes

What type of biscuits should I use?
The choice is really up to you. I used Pillsbury large, flaky Grands. However, it really is not going to make a difference. The biscuits are buried under all the goodness in this
dish.However, the recipe calls for Bisquick biscuits, these are so tasty and
work perfectly in this meal.
