Tips & Substitutions
For a quicker preparation, use pre-cooked bologna or leftover vegetables. If you're looking for a healthier option, consider using turkey bologna and whole wheat flour in the biscuit dough. You can also add other vegetables like peas or corn based on your preference. If the biscuit dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little flour on your hands to make it easier to drop onto the mixture.
