Egg Free, Dairy Free Quick and Simple Chicken and Vegetables over Biscuits

This meal was very easy to make since I always keep cooked shredded chicken in the freezer ready to use (my favorite is our Crock Pot Shredded Chicken). The girls loved this meal served over the Flattened Drop Biscuits.

Quick and Simple Chicken and Vegetables

1 lb cooked and diced or shredded chicken or turkey
2 cans mixed vegetables
1 can turkey gravy

Combine all of the ingredients and then heat until warmed through. Serve over warm biscuits if desired.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Flattened Drop Biscuits

These biscuits are perfect for topping with chicken and vegetables, creamed sausage, chili, etc.

Flattened Drop Biscuits

2 1/4 cups all purpose baking mix (I use Bisquick)
1 1/4 cups soy milk

Thoroughly combine both of the ingredients. This batter will be thin and spread when dropped by spoonfuls onto a sprayed foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.
*  This recipe makes about 16-18 biscuits, depending on the size you make them. However, you can easily double or triple this recipe.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Chicken Corn Cobbler

This Chicken Corn Cobbler is very delicious and hearty. We loved the chicken, potato, and corn filling topped with the fluffy biscuits.

Chicken Corn Cobbler

2 cups cooked diced or shredded chicken
1 can creamed corn
1 can corn
1 can diced potatoes
1 1/2 cups Bisquick baking mix
3/4 cup soy milk

Combine the chicken, creamed corn, corn, and potatoes in a sprayed 8x11 baking dish. In a separate bowl, combine the Bisquick and soy milk. Drop by spoonfuls onto the chicken mixture. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes or until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.

Pepperoni Garlic Drop Biscuits

My go to recipe for biscuits is our Drop Biscuits. If we want something a little different or with some extra flavor, I made these Pepperoni Garlic Drop Biscuits. They are perfect with spaghetti. My girls can't get enough of them.

Pepperoni Garlic Drop Biscuits

2 1/4 cup Bisquick baking mix
2/3 cup soy milk
Pepperoni to taste (I use about 30 slices cut into fourths)
Garlic powder or garlic salt to taste (I use 1 tbsp garlic salt)

Thoroughly combine all of the ingredients. Drop by spoonful onto a foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
*  The biscuits pretty much retain the shape they are placed it. If you want prettier biscuits like the midde and bottom pictures, smooth out the biscuit mounds first before baking.
*  This recipe makes about 13 biscuits, depending on the size you make them. However, you can easily double or triple this recipe.
*  If you want more of a garlic flavor, you can brush the hot biscuits with melted dairy free margarine mixed with garlic salt or garlic powder.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Simple Apple Dumplings

I saw apple dumplings at the grocery store the other day and have been craving them since. This is a simple but yummy version. When I made them I placed the orange juice and margarine on the bottom then the apple dumplings on top. The next time I'm going to pour them over top of the dumplings. Feel free to make them either way.

Simple Apple Dumplings

3 apples, peeled, cored and diced
2 tubes safe refrigerated biscuits
3/4 cup orange juice
3 tbsp dairy free margarine, melted
Cinnamon sugar as desired

Flatten out a biscuit then seal some of the diced apples inside. Place the dumpling, seam side down, in a sprayed 11x15 baking dish. Repeat with the remaining biscuits. Pour the orange juice over the dumplings then drizzle with the melted margarine. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
* Great served warm topped with soy milk.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Biscuit Topped Chicken Casserole

This all-in-one casserole is fast and easy to prepare. The girls especially liked the biscuit topping.

Biscuit Topped Chicken Casserole

1 lb cooked diced chicken
1 can peas
1 can corn
1 can pork gravy (I use Campbell's)
2 cups Bisquick baking mix
1 cup soy milk
1 tbsp Italian seasoning

Combine the chicken, peas, corn and gravy in a 9x13 baking dish. In a separate bowl, combine the Bisquick, soy milk and seasoning. Spread the Bisquick mixture evenly over the chicken mixture. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until the topping is cooked through and lightly browned.
*  If desired, you can use an 8x8 baking dish and only use half of the Bisquick mixture.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Biscuit Topped Chicken Pie

My family loves biscuits, so this was a perfect all in one meal. The leftovers reheat perfectly.

Biscuit Topped Chicken Pie

2 cans mixed vegetables or any desired
1 can gravy (I use campbell's pork or turkey because their chicken gravy is not safe)
2 cups cooked and diced chicken breast
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 chicken bouillon cube dissolved in 1/4 cup hot water
2 1/2 cups all purpose baking mix (I use Bisquick)
1 1/4-1 1/2 cups soy milk

Combine the vegetables, gravy, chicken, Italian seasoning and dissolved bouillon in a 9x13 baking dish. In a separate bowl, combine the baking mix and soy milk until the dough is a spreadable but thick consistency. Spread the biscuit mixture evenly over the chicken mixture. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes or until the biscuit topping is cooked through.
*  You can bake this meal in an 8x8 baking dish, using the same amount of the bottom mixture. However, use only 1/2 the amount of the biscuit topping.
*  You can substitute the chicken with cooked ground beef, sausage, ham or any meat desired.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Beef and Peas with Potato Biscuits

My middle daughter, Tayana, loves dumplings and this time I wanted to try something a little different. The result is a simple to put together meal with really yummy biscuits. The potato biscuits were the highlight of the meal for the girls. The top picture shows the biscuits rolled into a ball and flattened slightly and the bottom picture shows the biscuits just dropped by spoonfuls. Either way they are great, but the rolled biscuits make a nicer presentation.

Beef and Peas with Potato Biscuits

2 lbs ground beef

1 can peas or any vegetables desired

1 can beef gravy

2 1/2 cups soy milk, divided use

2 cup Bisquick baking mix

2 cup instant mashed potato flakes (I use Betty Crocker Potato Buds)

Cook the ground beef in a skillet until browned. Drain the grease then add the peas, gravy and 1/2 cup of the soy milk. Bring the mixture to a boil then pour it in a 9x13 baking dish. Warm the remaining 2 cups of soy milk in the microwave. Add the Bisquick and potato flakes then mix thoroughly. Allow the dough to rest for 2 minutes before rolling into balls, flattening slightly then placing on the ground beef mixture. If desired, you can drop the dough by spoonfuls on to the hot beef mixture instead of rolling it. Bake at 400 for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and lightly browned.

*  To prepare this meal faster, microwave precooked ground beef (I always keep some in the freezer), peas, gravy and 1/2 cup soy milk for 3 minutes or until hot. Then follow the rest of the instructions as listed.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Drop Biscuits

This is the recipe I use the most when I make biscuits. It calls for only 2 ingredients and start to finish they are ready within 15 minutes.

Drop Biscuits

2 1/4 cup all purpose baking mix (I use Bisquick)
2/3 cup soy milk (this also works great with rice milk)

Thoroughly combine both of the ingredients. Drop by spoonful onto a foil lined baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
*  The biscuits pretty much retain the shape they are placed it. If you want prettier biscuits like the midde and bottom pictures, smooth out the biscuit mounds first before baking.
*  This recipe makes about 13 biscuits, depending on the size you make them. However, you can easily double or triple this recipe.
*  Crumbled bacon, diced pepperoni, garlic salt or another favorite seasoning can be stirred into the batter.
*  If desired, you can brush the hot biscuits with a melted dairy free margarine. You can also mix a little garlic salt or other favorite seasoning with the melted margarine.
*  We prefer these biscuits plain, served with dairy free tub margarine for everyone to add for themselves. Jazzy and I also like to sprinkle garlic salt over the margarine.
