I found this on the Pillsbury website and it looks really yummy. I haven't tried it yet, but will be sure to post when I do. You can significantly reduce the calories and fat by using low fat butter, skim-1% milk, and reduced fat biscuits (or pass on the biscuits all together). The formatting below is off so for the full recipe, click on one of the links above.
