Savory Mushroom, Greens and Caramelized Onion Cobbler

As soon as fall weather begins to creep in, I start thinking about all the comforting, casserole style dishes that I want to make.  I love a dish that has the versatility to be served at any meal, and also has an ingredient list of affordable and easy to find items.  This savory cobbler hits all the marks.  Caramelized onions, thinly sliced mushrooms and hardy greens in a creamy sauce with cheesy biscuits on top, what’s not to love?   I also used the slicer attachment for the onions and mushrooms, which made prepping this a dream.

Homemade Bisquick Mix PLUS Beer Biscuits
