This is an easy upgrade to basic, store bought biscuits. The addition of butter, seasonings and some fresh parsley turns this into a fun appetizer too (when served with the marinara sauce on the side).
Kids love this (but so does every adult I’ve ever made it for). You can switch up the seasoning in this and swap out your favorite cheeses. Sharp cheddar works great mixed with a little cumin and chili powder…kind of get that Tex-mex thing going on! Perfect with a bowl of chili.
FYI: if you can only find the large cans of biscuit dough (10 rolls), just double your ingredients and mix.
