- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough approximately 8 biscuits
- 1 package stuffing mix approximately 6 oz
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 stalks celery finely chopped
- ½ medium yellow onion finely chopped
- ½ cup chicken broth or as needed
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped (optional)
- Gravy for serving (optional)
Sauté the vegetables: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped celery and onion and cook for 5–7 minutes, until softened. Set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the stuffing: Prepare the stuffing mix according to its package directions, using the broth as directed. Stir in the sautéed vegetables, poultry seasoning, dried thyme, and black pepper. Add the optional cheddar cheese if desired. The stuffing should be moist but not soggy.
Fill the biscuits: Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Gently flatten each piece into a small round. Place a spoonful of prepared stuffing in the center of each biscuit, leaving enough dough around the edges to seal it.
Arrange the ring: Pinch the dough edges together to enclose the stuffing. Grease a Bundt pan thoroughly and arrange the stuffed biscuits seam-side down around the pan. Leave enough room for the dough to expand as it bakes.
Bake until golden: Bake for approximately 25–35 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through in the center. Check early because oven temperatures, pan shapes, and biscuit sizes can affect the baking time. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
Rest and serve: Let the stuffing ring rest for about 5 minutes. Carefully loosen the edges and invert it onto a serving platter, if using a Bundt pan. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm with gravy for dipping.
-
Avoid soggy stuffing: Add broth gradually and keep the filling moist rather than wet.
-
Seal the biscuits well: Pinch the dough edges firmly so the stuffing stays inside during baking.
-
Grease the pan thoroughly: This helps the ring release cleanly after baking.
-
Check the center: Make sure the biscuit dough is cooked through before serving.
-
Customize the filling: Add cooked sausage, chopped apples, dried cranberries, or toasted pecans for a seasonal variation.
-
Serving idea: Place a bowl of warm gravy in the center of the serving platter for dipping.
-

-
Freezing: Freeze cooled portions in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months for best quality.
-
