In any southern home, biscuits are a MUST for breakfast! There are so many ways to ‘fancy’ them up! And what’s fancier than Sweet Potato Pie Stuffed Biscuits?! Yum!!!
I absolutely LOVE sweet potatoes!! Even though I eat them all year round, I choose to wait until Thanksgiving to transform them into fun, delicious desserts!! Thanksgiving is the time where I go ‘Sweet Potato Crazy!’ Lol! I make sweet potato pancakes, sweet potato fries, sweet potato smoothies, sweet potato muffins…(okay, now I’m starting to sound like Bubba from Forrest Gump! Lol). My 1 year old son even had mashed sweet potatoes for lunch this week!

Keeping with the theme, I thought that it was totally appropriate to make Sweet Potato Pie Stuffed Biscuits!! Sounds amazing, right?! I love homemade buttered biscuits, but let’s be honest, I have ZERO time to make them so I often buy pre-made biscuits. My family loves them just the same and they make my life a little easier!
For this recipe, I chose to use my favorite brand of butter flavored biscuits and of course, my favorite cast iron skillet Lodge 10-1/4-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet! I started by cutting the biscuits in half and laying them flat in my skillet. Then I applied a generous layer of sweet potato filling on top!
After I placed a generous portion of sweet potato filling on the bottom layer, I arranged the tops of the biscuits on top and popped them into the oven. When they were done, I drizzled the biscuits with a sweet glaze and topped with pecans! Y’all…there were no words to describe the deliciousness that took place after I took my first bite! They were sooo good!! They didn’t last very long after my family got a hold of them! Lol! Now, this recipe is a bit on the indulgent side, so be sure to remember moderation! Enjoy!

This is a great idea. I love biscuits and sweet potatoes. I’m not a huge fan of store bought canned biscuits – do you have any tips for making this recipe with from scratch biscuits?
Thank you! I haven’t mastered making biscuits from scratch as of yet, but I’m working on it! Stay tuned!
