Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

- Pour this delicious filling into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuits. Arrange the uncooked biscuits atop the filling, ensuring to leave a little space between each one for expansion. Brush each biscuit with the melted butter.
Baking
- Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, watching as the biscuits puff up and turn golden brown.
- Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese over the top and return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
