FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time?

Homemade or store-bought both work. Choose a creamy, flavorful one.

Can I use crescent rolls instead of biscuits?
Yes, but biscuit dough gives a better pull-apart texture.

Is this a main dish or an appetizer?
It works great as either—serve with a salad for a full meal or enjoy as a party snack.

How do I know it’s fully cooked?
The top should be golden brown and a skewer inserted should come out hot and clean.

Yes, just drain and shred it well for best texture.

Is it kid-friendly?
Absolutely—kids love the cheesy, buttery goodness.

Can I add spice?
Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for a kick.
