Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury Grand buttermilk biscuits
  • 12 oz bag of green beans, drained
  • 1 can cream of mushroom condensed soup

  • 3/4 cup French’s crispy fried onions, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: Separate the biscuits and press each one into a greased mini muffin tin to form small cups.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, mix the drained green beans, cream of mushroom soup, half of the shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the crispy fried onions. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4: Spoon the mixture evenly into the biscuit cups.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and crispy fried onions on top of each cup.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add cooked bacon bits or a sprinkle of garlic powder to the filling mixture.
  • Use fresh green beans blanched until tender instead of canned for a fresher taste.
  • Swap cheddar cheese for mozzarella or Monterey Jack if you prefer a milder cheese.

Storage

Store leftover bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes to keep the biscuit crispy and the filling warm.

How to Serve

The image shows a group of eight mini egg muffins arranged closely on a white plate set on a white marbled surface. Each muffin has three visible layers: a golden-brown crust forming the base, a middle layer of creamy yellow and white melted cheese mixed with green vegetable pieces and small bits that might be mushrooms, and a top layer of crispy, brown shredded fried onions giving a crunchy texture. The muffins are slightly uneven on top with melted cheese flowing slightly over the edges with a warm and inviting look. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the biscuit cups with the filling ahead of time and refrigerate them unbaked. When ready, bake as directed, adding a couple of extra minutes if baked straight from the fridge.

Can I freeze the mini casserole bites?

These bites can be frozen after baking. Let them cool completely, then freeze in a single layer before transferring to a freezer-safe container. Reheat in the oven until heated through and crispy.
