Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).

Sauce: To a 9x13 inch casserole dish, add the blended cottage cheese, 1 12-oz bag frozen peas and carrots, 2 15-oz cans chickpeas (drained), 1 15-oz can corn (drained), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp vegetable bouillon base, 1 tsp each dried thyme and parsley, ½ tsp onion powder and ¼ tsp each salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
Heat Sauce: Transfer dish to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove dish from oven and stir.
Add Biscuits: Open 1 16-oz can refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into about 4 pieces. Arrange biscuits over the sauce in a single layer, being sure not to press biscuits into the sauce. Optionally spray the top lightly with vegetable oil to help them brown.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to re-crisp the biscuits. Microwave reheating works for the filling, but biscuits will soften.Not freezer-friendly once baked due to the biscuit topping.Can this be made gluten free? Ye, just use gluten-free biscuit dough!Can I use fresh vegetables? Yup, you can use fresh or frozen. You can also add more veggies like leeks, sautéed mushrooms, herbs, or celery.Swap the biscuit dough for puff pastry, crescent roll dough, pie crust, or use your own drop biscuit dough as we do in this vegan chicken and dumplings recipe.
