What is a ‘bubble up’? It’s a recipe with biscuits in some liquid. As the liquid cooks, it ‘bubbles up’ and helps cook the biscuits. A ‘bubble up’ can be sweet or savory. Typically, it is easy to make with quick prep time since you’re using semi-homemade products like canned biscuits.

Cooking Tips

Use High-Quality Pie Filling: For the best flavor, choose a good brand of blueberry pie filling. The quality of the filling can make a big difference.
Melt the Butter: Ensure the butter is fully melted and mixed well with the brown sugar. This helps create a rich, sweet topping.
Cut the Biscuits: Cut the jumbo biscuits into smaller pieces so they cook evenly and bubble up through the filling.
Distribute Evenly: Spread the biscuit pieces evenly over the casserole dish. This ensures each serving has a good balance of fruit and biscuits.

Can I make this ahead of time?

What if I don’t have pecans?
