Golden brown, fluffy biscuits are literally one of my favorite simple comfort foods. They can be dressed up, used to soak up sauce, made into sandwiches, you name it!

  • 💬 Comments & Reviews

If you're wondering what to serve with biscuits, look no further than our list of the best dishes that complement them perfectly. This list has a little something for everyone, no matter what meal of the day!  

1. Chicken Noodle Soup

You'll feel nourished, warm, and satisfied after a huge bowl of chicken noodle soup. It’s a classic comfort meal for chilly evenings or feeling under the weather.  

Of course, you can eat chicken noodle soup on its own, but it is so much better with a fluffy biscuit to dunk in the broth.  

Chicken Noodle Soup
Homemade chicken noodle soup is such a timeless comfort food classic that always manages to make us feel better on dreary days. This is my grandma's recipe, loaded with fresh vegetables, tender pieces of chicken, and egg noodles, all in a delicious broth. It's one of my favorite ways to cook a whole chicken!

2. Chicken a la King

Mushrooms, peas, chicken, and a rich cream sauce come together in a mouthwatering dish called Chicken a la King. We love this dish because it's so easy to make and it's packed full of tasty vegetables, perfect for weeknight cooking!  

Chicken a la king is best served over your carb of choice, and mine is a couple of delicious, golden biscuits.

Chicken a la King
My quick and easy Chicken a la King is a delicious combination of veggies, chicken, and velvety cream sauce your whole family will love! Using already cooked chicken and heavy cream really cuts down the cook-time of this easy skillet dinner!

3. Country Gravy

When it comes to Southern cuisine, white country gravy is a must-have. Use it to dress up your favorite chicken-fried steak dish, or serve it with a side of warm biscuits and gravy for breakfast.  

Even if you don't have much time, you can whip up a classic American dish in just a few minutes! Throw in some crumbled breakfast sausage for an extra savory addition!  

Country Gravy
This country gravy recipe is an incredibly tasty, homemade condiment that only takes a few minutes to make from scratch. It's the perfect base for making black pepper gravy (peppered gravy) or sausage gravy. This recipe makes a staple sauce that is also known as white gravy, cream gravy, sawmill gravy, and milk gravy.

4. Baked BBQ Chicken Drumsticks

Baked BBQ chicken drumsticks are a must-have for summer potlucks. These are a party favorite, and guests can't get enough of them.  

These tender, juicy drumsticks are slathered in barbecue sauce and baked to perfection. The best part about baking them instead of grilling them is that you simply put them in the oven and then, let the oven do the rest!

I like to serve mine up with a piece of bread and a side of Southern coleslaw!

Baked BBQ Chicken Drumsticks
Delightfully tangy baked BBQ chicken drumsticks combine crispy baked chicken legs with a smoky barbecue sauce that's cooked to perfection! This easy dinner is a family favorite go-to for nights that you can't fire up the grill!

5. Crockpot Cube Steak

If you're looking for a dish that's simple to prepare but still delicious, crockpot cube steak is a must-try. We love how you can just throw everything in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinner time.  

The end result is a flavor-infused, incredibly tender, and juicy cube steak. Set everything up in the morning before you leave for work, and by the time you get home, this delicious dinner will be ready for you.  

The gravy in this dish is perfect for smothering!

6. Instant Pot Beef Stew

Is there anything more brilliant and practical than an Instant Pot or pressure cooker? Cooking is so much easier, and you can always have your food ready in minutes. 

Instant Pot beef stew is one of our favorite dishes to make in an Instant Pot because it eliminates a lot of work and saves us a lot of time. It’s comforting, hearty, and it goes well with a variety of other dishes, particularly flaky biscuits.

Instant Pot Beef Stew (Hearty, Tasty Family Favorite!)
This Instant Pot beef stew is a hearty and savory combination of tender beef chunks, carrots, potatoes, and celery that everyone will love! Use your handy pressure cooker to have this typically slow-simmered dinner on the table in no time. You won't believe how easy this recipe is!

7. Garlic Red Skin Mashed Potatoes

This mouth-watering mashed potato dish is a family favorite. We also enjoy serving this flavorful dish during the holidays, along with traditional and delightful side dishes like gravy, biscuits, and roasted vegetables.  

It's smooth and creamy, but there are still some chunks in there for that amazing texture.

Red Skin Mashed Potatoes Recipe
Red skin mashed potatoes with roasted garlic and cream cheese are a classic holiday side dish and a staple for great family meals! The smooth, rich potatoes still have a few lumps to enjoy all of the wonderful textures of your red potatoes. If you're feeling the need for delicious mashed potatoes, then this dish is your next obsession!

8. Ground Beef Stroganoff

Ground beef stroganoff is a favorite weeknight dinner at our house, and we love the aroma of this delectable dish after a long day at work. It's absolutely delicious, and though it is often served over pasta, don’t let that limit you.

After eating this flavorful dish everyone is always full and satisfied, particularly when the stroganoff is served along with some tasty biscuits!

Ground Beef Stroganoff (Easy Hamburger Dinner!)
My ground beef stroganoff is a quick and tasty recipe done in less than 30 minutes that the whole family will enjoy. It is filled with flavorful, tender browned ground beef, tangy sour cream, and earthy mushrooms. Then, it is served over delicious buttered egg noodles for a delicious dinner.

9. Texas Chili

If you enjoy a little heat, you'll enjoy Texas chili. This hearty chili can be paired with a biscuit, just like it often is when served in a restaurant.  

It's ideal for any occasion, including Sunday brunch and potlucks. It's even better on cold rainy days when you just want to feel cozy and warm in your belly.

Texas Chili (without beans)
Hearty Texas chili is a comforting meal that’s packed with lots of tender meat and spicy chiles and topped with all your favorites! This bean-less chili is super easy to prepare and makes the coziest dinner ever! Serve it with cheese, sour cream, and crackers for the most satisfying and delicious meal!

10. Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

This is another one of those delectably simple dishes that you can just leave and forget about until it's time to serve. It's a traditional American barbecue dish that's cooked slowly, so the flavor infuses as it cooks.  

I love to slice a roll or biscuit in half and load it with pulled pork. Plus, you can always cook a large batch ahead of time because it keeps well in the fridge.  

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Recipe
This slow cooker pulled pork recipe always yields fantastic results every single time, no matter what cut of pork you use! Rub the pork with a homemade blend of seasonings, sear the outside, and pop it into the crockpot! Go about your day; this delicious meal will be ready when you get hungry!

11. Baked Beans With Ground Beef and Bacon

The combination of biscuits and baked beans with ground beef and bacon is such a delicious meal that it makes our mouths water just thinking about it. Rich and hearty baked beans with ground beef and bacon make a filling side dish for BBQ dinners and other meals.  

The savory baked beans are slightly sweetened with brown sugar and enhanced with smoky flavors from hickory-smoked bacon and liquid smoke.

Biscuits and scrambled eggs are the ideal breakfast combination, and having them first thing in the morning is a fantastic way to start the day!  

Scrambled eggs can be made in a variety of delicious ways, and they are incredibly simple to prepare. You can always spruce it up with toppings or eat it plain. The options are endless.

Scrambled Eggs
Scrambled eggs are a breakfast classic that can be whipped up to tasty perfection in no time at all! Fluffy, creamy, and quick. These scrambled eggs are whisked with rich half & half and salt before being cooked in butter, so they’re ultra-delicious!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a small bowl combine the glaze ingredients, whisk till smooth. Set aside for later.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the ground beef, onion, green pepper, eggs, cheese, milk, crushed Ritz crackers, salt, and pepper. Using your clean hands thoroughly combine all ingredients.
  • Place meatloaf mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and form it into a loaf shape.
  • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes, remove from the oven and apply the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Return your meatloaf to the oven and continue baking for 30 minutes or until the meatloaf is 160°F (72°C) when the temperature is checked in the center of the loaf.
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For fine bits of your onion and green bell pepper, grate the vegetables using a cheese grater.
  • To get a better shaped loaf look, you can put the meat mixture into a parchment paper lined bread pan and press down on it evenly. Flip the bread pan upside down over the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Use a digital meat thermometer to check the center of the meatloaf for doneness.
