What is a Bubble Up Casserole?

A Bubble Up Casserole is made with pieces of canned biscuits mixed with cooked protein, vegetables, and some type of sauce, then topped with cheese. As it bakes, the biscuits “bubble up” through the sauce and other ingredients, creating a tasty, golden casserole.

Ingredients Needed

Here’s what you need to make this easy bubble up casserole:

• Biscuits: For this recipe, you need canned homestyle biscuits, which puff up nicely. You can also use flaky or buttermilk biscuits, but their texture will be a little different (denser).
• Chicken: We use rotisserie chicken that we pick up from the store, but any type of cooked chicken will work here. This is a great recipe to use up leftover chicken, whether you made grilled chicken, air-fried chicken, or instant pot chicken.
• Canned Soup: This recipe requires any type of creamy canned soup. Our favorite is Cream of Chicken Herb Soup, but Cream of Celery or Mushroom would also work great.
• Sour Cream: For extra creaminess, it also adds a nice tangy flavor to the sauce. You can substitute it with plain or Greek yogurt if that’s what you have available.
• Vegetables: Any frozen vegetables are perfect here, we use peas and carrots but corn, bell peppers, and green beans will also work here. Avoid canned vegetables, they become too soft and mushy.
• Cheese: We add cheese inside the casserole mixture, and sprinkle it on top before baking. Cheddar, Monterey jack, and mozzarella work well here.

How To Make Chicken Pot Pie Bubble Up Casserole

Recipe Success Tips

• Spread Biscuit Pieces Evenly: Cut the biscuit dough into uniform pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of the baking dish. This ensures they cook evenly and “bubble up” nicely through the filling.
• Cover with Foil if Needed: If the top starts to brown too quickly, cover the casserole with aluminum foil to prevent burning while allowing the rest to cook thoroughly.
• Check Biscuit Doneness: Ensure the biscuit pieces are fully cooked by checking the center pieces, not just the edges. You can use a toothpick to test if they are done.
• Let it Rest: After baking, let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps it set and makes it easier to serve.

Storing Tips

1. Cool Completely: Allow the casserole to cool completely at room temperature before storing. This helps prevent condensation and sogginess.
2. Refrigerate Promptly: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate within two hours of cooking. It will keep well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
3. Freeze for Longer Storage: For longer storage, freeze the casserole in individual portions or as a whole. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, or use a freezer-safe airtight container. It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
4. Label and Date: Always label your containers with the date you stored the casserole. This helps you keep track of freshness.
5. Reheat Properly: When reheating, cover the casserole with foil and warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until heated through, about 20-30 minutes. If reheating from frozen, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight first.
6. Microwave Option: For a quick reheating option, you can use the microwave. Place a portion on a microwave-safe plate, cover with a microwave-safe cover or another plate, and heat in 1-minute intervals until hot, stirring in between to ensure even heating.
7. Avoid Refreezing: Try not to refreeze the casserole once it has been thawed. This can affect the texture and taste of the dish.
