Hi my biscuits were Brown on top but we're all doing underneath can I re cook after it's been refrigerated please help

The biscuits aren’t raw but can be soft on the bottom from being baked in the casserole, similar to dumplings in chicken and dumpling soup. If you prefer a firmer biscuit, try mixing everything together first, then placing the biscuits on top and baking. You can reheat the casserole in the oven once refrigeratored. I would cover the dish with foil to keep the casserole from drying out.

It's best to flip the biscuits half way through baking to get the bottoms cooked.
