I hate watching good biscuits go stale, so I look for Kroger staples that turn leftovers into satisfying meals. These six ideas make yesterday’s batch worth saving for breakfast, dinner, or dessert.
Prices were checked at a Kroger in Granbury, Texas on November 14; they vary by store and change with each week’s ad.
1. Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits – $3.39
One extra baked biscuit is practically an invitation to make tomorrow’s breakfast sandwich. Split it and fill it for a quick weekday meal, or tear several leftovers over a casserole before it goes into the oven.
Taste: The classic buttermilk flavor is pleasantly tangy without overpowering the filling. A properly baked biscuit has a crisp exterior and fluffy center, though leftovers can become dry if reheated too aggressively.
Make It Better: For sandwiches, warm the split biscuit gently in the oven before adding the filling so the middle softens without turning tough.
Parting Thoughts: Anyone who likes a substantial, fluffy biscuit will find plenty of second-day potential here.
2. Jimmy Dean Premium Pork Regular Breakfast Sausage Roll – $4.99
Sunday breakfast stretches nicely when cooked sausage turns leftover biscuits into sandwiches, gravy, or a hearty breakfast casserole. It is currently $4.99, down from $5.49, and the roll format lets you choose between patties and crumbles.
Taste: The seasoned pork brings savory depth and plenty of richness to a mild buttermilk biscuit. Cooked as crumbles, it stays juicy enough to keep a casserole from feeling like a pile of dry bread.
Make It Better: Shape it into patties for tidy sandwiches, or cook and crumble it fully before layering it with torn biscuits in a casserole.
Parting Thoughts: This earns its refrigerator space when leftover biscuits need to become a filling meal.
3. Kroger Country Sausage Gravy – $1.59
Few rescues are easier than splitting yesterday’s biscuits and covering them with hot country gravy. The shelf-stable can is especially handy for a solo breakfast or a low-effort supper when making gravy from scratch feels excessive.
Taste: Cracked black pepper gives the savory gravy a noticeable country-style bite. Its creamy body and sausage pieces soften the biscuits, so even slightly dry leftovers feel comforting again.
Make It Better: Heat the gravy on the stovetop and pour it over biscuits that have been split and gently warmed.
Parting Thoughts: For maximum comfort with minimal fuss, this $1.59 shortcut is worth keeping around.
4. Private Selection Frozen Whole Strawberries – $10.99
A sweet change of direction starts with thawed strawberries spooned over split leftover biscuits for an easy shortcake. The 48-ounce frozen bag suits families or frequent dessert makers better than someone who only wants a single serving.
Taste: The berries are sweet and juicy, with a softer texture after thawing than they have straight from the freezer. That released juice is useful here because it sinks into the biscuit instead of leaving the dessert dry.
Make It Better: Sweeten the thawed berries and let them sit until juicy, then spoon them over the biscuit and add whipped cream.
Parting Thoughts: Dessert-minded households will get the most mileage from this generous bag.
5. Kroger Sharp Cheddar Shredded Cheese – $2.00
Mini biscuit pizzas are my favorite answer when only two or three biscuits remain: split them, add toppings, and finish with shredded sharp cheddar. It also works in breakfast sandwiches or over torn-biscuit casserole layers.
Taste: The cheddar has a sharp, creamy flavor that gives a plain biscuit more character. It melts smoothly, creating a cohesive topping rather than leaving the biscuit crumbly and bare.
Make It Better: Use a modest layer on each biscuit half so the cheese melts evenly without overwhelming the bread.
Parting Thoughts: At $2.00, it is a versatile pick for anyone who prefers savory leftovers to sweet ones.
6. Kroger Grade A Large White Eggs – $1.79
Breakfast-for-dinner becomes easy when leftover biscuits meet scrambled or fried eggs. For a larger batch, torn biscuits can also soak up an egg mixture in a breakfast casserole or bread pudding.
Taste: Eggs add mild savory richness that lets the biscuit’s buttermilk flavor remain noticeable. Scrambled eggs make a soft sandwich filling, while an egg mixture gives torn biscuits a tender, custardy texture.
Make It Better: Whisk the eggs with milk when making a casserole or bread pudding, or fry them for a more structured sandwich filling.
Parting Thoughts: A dozen eggs offers the broadest range of options when you are unsure what those leftovers should become.
