How to Make Biscuit Vegetable Pot Pie Casserole
Step 1: Make the Biscuit Dough
In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or pulse in a food processor until crumbly. Stir in 1 cup milk until a shaggy dough forms. Add a little more flour or milk as needed to get a sticky but shapeable dough.
Dust your hands with flour and shape the dough into 8–9 thick discs. Place on a lined tray and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic for about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and thyme until veggies are coated and flour has absorbed moisture.
Slowly pour in vegetable broth and milk, stirring until it thickens into a creamy mixture. Add in your mixed veggies and parsley. Let it cool for 5 minutes while the oven preheats to 400°F (204°C).
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
Pour the filling into a greased baking dish. Arrange the cold biscuit rounds on top, squeezing them in if needed. Brush biscuits with the remaining 2 Tbsp of milk.
Step 4: Bake
Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes. Then increase heat to 425°F and bake for another 5–6 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and the filling is bubbling at the edges.
Let cool slightly before serving—it will smell amazing!

FAQ: Biscuit Vegetable Pot Pie Casserole
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes! Simply use a non-dairy milk like oat or almond milk and swap in vegan butter. Make sure your biscuits are also dairy-free, and you’ll have a completely plant-based, cozy casserole.
Can I use canned biscuits instead of homemade?
You can. Just be sure to place the canned biscuit dough on top right before baking to keep them from getting soggy.
How do I make this gluten-free?
Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in both the filling and the biscuit dough. You can also replace the flour in the filling with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch for thickening.
Can I add potatoes to the filling?
Absolutely! Add about 1 cup of diced potatoes or sweet potatoes when you add the broth. Just reduce the amount of other vegetables slightly to make room.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the filling and biscuit dough up to 2 days ahead. Store them separately in the fridge and assemble right before baking.
Can I freeze this casserole?
Yes. Freeze the filling and biscuits separately for up to 3 months. Thaw before assembling and bake as directed.
What size dish should I use?
A 2.5 to 3-quart baking dish works best, or you can use a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Make sure there’s enough room for the filling to bubble under the biscuits.
How do I know when the biscuits are done?
They’ll be golden brown on top and cooked through underneath. After the first 25 minutes at 400°F, bump the oven to 425°F for the final 5–6 minutes to get that perfect color.
Can I use different vegetables?
Definitely! This recipe is very flexible. Swap in corn, green beans, chickpeas, or anything you love. Just aim for 2 total cups of mixed add-in vegetables.

Instructions
-
Make the Biscuit Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter or food processor until coarse crumbs form. Stir in 1 cup of milk to create a shaggy, slightly sticky dough. If needed, add a bit more milk or flour to get the right texture. Shape into 8–9 thick discs with floured hands. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
-
Make the Filling: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables have softened. Stir in the flour, salt, pepper, and thyme. Gradually stir in the broth and milk and cook until thickened into a creamy consistency, about 7–9 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in mixed vegetables and parsley. Let cool slightly.
-
Assemble the Casserole: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Transfer filling into a greased 2.5–3 quart baking dish or 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Arrange cold biscuit dough rounds on top. Brush biscuit tops with remaining 2 tablespoons of milk.
-
Bake: Bake for 25 minutes, then increase oven temperature to 425°F (218°C) and bake for another 5–6 minutes, or until biscuits are golden brown.
-
Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
Notes
-
Make-Ahead: Biscuit dough can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the fridge. Filling can be prepared 1 day ahead—just bring to room temp before baking.
