How to Make Creamed Chicken and Biscuits Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease the bottom and sides of a casserole dish.

- Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the baked mixture and top with the biscuits.

- Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving.
