I love to cook and bake from scratch but I have no problem whatsoever with getting some help now and then, whether it's a boxed cake mix, or a package of cookie mix, or refrigerated pie crusts, or refrigerated biscuits, etc. Honestly, sometimes I'm just not in the mood to spend time mixing and measuring and if there's a quicker way to get supper on the table, I'll take it.
I found this dish on the Pillsbury website, a website I visit frequently as I have had great luck with their recipes. I have quite a few of their recipes bookmarked and am starting to make my way through them.
I've had this recipe saved for ages and am so glad I finally made it. It's absolutely delicious. It's creamy and comforting, perfect for fall, and it was a hit - everyone loved it.
This was a fast, easy weeknight meal that I'll be making again and again.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteDear Brenda,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely try to do this huge recipe!
have a nice day!

I know what you mean. Sometimes making everything from scratch seems overwhelming. I use shortcuts sometimes. They make life so easy. I have made several of Pillsbury's and they were all great. i am sure this one follows the same rule. Very goodlooking and comforting dish.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Brenda, it's one of those shared consciousness moments - I bookmarked this recipe when I was looking around the site the other day. Looks so good - really want to make it soon!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more. I remember when there was NO shortcuts; at this point when I feel like it I use them. My husband would go for this casserole. Haven't been to the Pillsbury site in a while; gotta go.
ReplyDeleteRita
That does look good, and I too use a helping hand once in a while. Thanks for sharing this great looking dinner casserole.
ReplyDeleteLooks perfect for these Canadian winters, LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! La
ReplyDeleteShortcuts are good. Especially when they result in something that looks like this!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good, Brenda - great comfort food. We all need shortcuts from time to time, and this one looks really delicious! Wish I could get the refrigerated buttermilk biscuits in England - we only get the croissant rolls!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree...we can't all be Julia Child every day! This looks scrumptious and warming.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is brillant :-) I will be trying that one soon. Comfort food at it's best.
ReplyDeleteHey, by any chance do you know if there is a blog that combines novels with food? I like Cook the Books but I wondered if there were more like that one.
I LOVE your Cookbook Sunday series and will have some new stuff for that this week.
That looks so good and easy! What a great meal to
ReplyDeleteput together after work. Yum!
This looks really good. I don't mind taking a little short-cut once a while myself, if it means saving on precious time! I don't think that I have seen any Pillsbury Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits sold over here, but then again, I don't have a reason for it before! Now, you have really brought this to my attention! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteTina, no I'm sorry I can't be of any help with blogs that combine novels and food. I hadn't heard of Cook the Books so just headed over there now to check it out. My friend, Debbie at http://thefridayfriends.blogspot.com/ has a blog that combines reading and cooking, you might find something there or a link from her blog. I'm an avid reader myself, not food books necessarily, but all kinds of novels. It's my favourite way to spend time when I'm not in the kitchen. Good luck! :o)
ReplyDeleteWow that looks good, I'm drooling over here. Yum, thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds heavenly. I'll be sure to try it!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks sooo good! I'll be trying it for sure. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog!! This looks so delicious! The ultimate comfort food :)
ReplyDeleteI've made something like this years ago and it was delicious! Thanks for reminding me about this recipe. Your looks much prettier than mine did though. :)
ReplyDeletethat is SO atractive and looks great, anne
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with a little help in the kitchen now and then! :) This looks warm and comforting!
ReplyDeleteNice! I like how this looks, great dish. Excellent comfort food.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like super delicious comfort food Brenda! Exactly what is needed as the weather gets cooler! I don't mind using pre-made biscuits every once in a while - they are so time consuming to make.
ReplyDeletesounds delicious...i love how it looks like! happy weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos. Happy FF.

I can absolutely see why you bookmarked this one. It looks excellent!! I have plenty of evenings where I cut corners as well. Who can honestly say they're in the mood every evening?
ReplyDeleteI still contest that you need to join me in entering the Pillsbury bakeoff this spring! I think you'd rock it!
Now that is a new spin on chicken alfredo. One I'm going to have to try. Looks magnificent. Going to go revisit Pillsbury's website now. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda,
ReplyDeleteThat loooks sooooooo yummm..Amazing...:)

What a wonderful comfort food. I love the Pillsbury recipes too. I have it saved on my favorites. If I didn't know this was with the Pillsbursy biscuits, I would think that you made them, Brenda. So yummy!...and BTW thanks for your kind comment on my carrot cake recipe. The only tedious work on it (actually messy) is the grating of the carrots...other than that, the recipe is so easy!
ReplyDeleteIt is cold and rainy here today. And this looks warm and yummy!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I'm all for recipes that require little time and effort this week! I completely love this twist to chicken alfredo, which is one of my favorites... thanks for sharing with Friday Potluck this week!
ReplyDeleteI am so going to try this!! Looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteBrenda, I love the look of this (great photos), and with chicken & broccoli in it I know my partner would love it. So often he'll ask me what we're having for dinner, and I might say something like "Zucchini and Pea Pasta with a Ricotta Sauce", and he will say something like "so, will that have broccoli in it?" or "is that the kind of thing that has chicken in it?" The long and the short of it is that I could get him to at least try just about anything if I put chicken or broccoli in it. So I know he'd love this. Only problem is we don't have refrigerated biscuits here (actually we call them scones here - to us, biscuits are cookies), but if I was a really nice girlfriend I could make my own "biscuits" and put them on top.
ReplyDeleteSue :-)
It sure looks good. IMO there is nothing wrong with a few shortcuts!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING! I'll be makin this ASAP! Thank you for sharing. ~Prairie Story
ReplyDeleteWow -- this looks great!! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOh! This looks really yummy! Thanks for linking up for Friday Favorites!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Brenda, I saw this featured over at eKat's and came racking over - this is just my kind of yum!
ReplyDeleteI can feel the calories already but I don't care - I am adding this to my file and the next time I need some fast comfort, guess what'll be cooking in my kitchen?
Have a wonderful week dear friend!

Yum, looks great! I'm definitely a half homemade kind of cook, love quick and easy shortcuts in the kitchen. I missed this with my sporadic visits lately but just spotted it over at EKat's Friday Potluck. Excellent Brenda! :-)
