Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients except biscuits and chips in an ovenproof skillet and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Separate the biscuits and dip the top of each biscuit in melted butter, then into crushed corn chips.
- Place the coated biscuits over the mixture in the skillet.
- Repeat with all biscuits.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until biscuits are golden brown at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using spicy wieners or adding a dash of hot sauce to the mixture. If you don’t have corn chips, crushed crackers or breadcrumbs can substitute effectively. When simmering the mixture, ensure the beans are heated through but not overcooked to maintain texture. For a twist, try pairing with a side of Crock-Pot Navy Bean Soup.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hearty dish with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness. It pairs beautifully with Mom'S Salad for a refreshing contrast. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of cheese on top for extra creaminess.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the dish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions, covered, for a quick meal.
