To make this you’ll need:

  • Butter– To cook the onions in
  • Onion– A diced sweet onion
  • Sour cream– Full fat sour cream is best
  • Mayonnaise– Full fat, real mayonnaise and not mayonnaise style dressing
  • Cheese– Shredded cheddar
  • Spices– Salt, pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and smoked paprika
  • Buttermilk biscuits– The kind that you can find in the refrigerated section that come in a roll.
  • Tomatoes– Cut into 1/4″ slices. We like using larger varieties for this recipe.

How to Make Tomato Casserole

To make this easy biscuit casserole with tomatoes, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. 

Stir in the onions, cooking until tender and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.

Once the onions are translucent, immediately remove the skillet from heat.

Salt and pepper the sauce, to taste.

Now, spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

Spread the 8 biscuits out evenly into the pan.

Use your fingers to press them out further, until they’re all touching and completely spread out over the bottom of the pan.

Seal the seems together so the pan’s covered and press the outer edges up the sides slightly so the biscuits form a tiny lip.

Layer the sliced tomatoes evenly out over the thin layer of dough.

Then spread the cheese sauce evenly out overtop of the tomatoes.

Sprinkle the prepared casserole with a little smoked paprika.

Bake the dish at 400 degrees for 25-27 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the cheese has bubbled and turned golden.

Remove the casserole from the oven and let the dish rest for 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.

Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

  • Use your favorite brand of refrigerated biscuit dough; however, do not use one that says butter/buttery/buttered.
  • This will work with any kind of tomatoes except for cherry or grape tomatoes, but if you use a smaller tomato like roma tomatoes you may need more than 3.
  • We love using certain tomato varieties specifically in this recipe and those include beefsteak, heirloom, better boy, or early girl.
  • Feel free to substitute another kind of cheese for cheddar. Mozzarella, jack, or even gouda all work well.
