Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups turkey, cooked and shredded
- 1 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup Mornay sauce
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your Hot Brown Bubble Up bakes evenly and thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and shredded turkey with the crumbled bacon. Mix them together until well incorporated.
- Add the Mornay sauce to the turkey and bacon mixture. Stir until the meat is evenly coated with the sauce, ensuring every bite is rich and flavorful.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and separate them. Cut each biscuit into quarters. This will create bite-sized pieces that will bubble up during baking.
- Gently fold the quartered biscuits into the turkey, bacon, and sauce mixture. Be careful not to overmix; you want the biscuit pieces to remain somewhat intact.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the mixture. This will create a deliciously gooey and cheesy topping.
- Finally, dust the top with paprika for added flavor and a touch of color.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the biscuits are golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the dish set slightly and make it easier to serve.
- Serve warm, and enjoy your Hot Brown Bubble Up with family and friends!
Tips
- Use leftover turkey or rotisserie chicken for an even easier preparation
- Make sure to cut biscuits into equal-sized quarters for consistent cooking
- Don't overmix the ingredients – you want the biscuit pieces to maintain some texture
- For extra flavor, try using a blend of cheeses like gruyère and mozzarella
- Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow it to set and make serving easier
- If you like a bit of heat, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the mixture
- For a crispy top, broil the casserole for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to make assembly quick and easy
- Serve with a fresh green salad to balance the richness of the dish
