Ingredients
Scale
Meat and Cheese
- 1 pound sliced deli ham
- 1 pound sliced roast pork
- 8 ounces Swiss cheese, sliced
Vegetables and Condiments
- 1/2 cup dill pickle slices
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
Dough and Toppings
- 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the casserole.
- Layer Ham: Spread the sliced deli ham evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish, creating the first flavorful layer.
- Add Roast Pork: Layer the sliced roast pork evenly over the ham for a rich, meaty second layer.
- Add Cheese: Arrange the Swiss cheese slices evenly over the pork, which will melt beautifully during baking.
- Add Pickles: Scatter the dill pickle slices evenly over the cheese to add that classic tangy crunch.
- Drizzle Mustard: Evenly drizzle the yellow mustard over the pickles for a sharp, vibrant flavor contrast.
- Top with Biscuit Dough: Separate the biscuit dough and arrange the individual biscuits tightly over the mustard layer, covering the casserole completely.
- Butter and Season: Brush the tops of the biscuit dough with melted butter for golden, crisp tops. Sprinkle with dried parsley if you desire a fresh, herby note.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the biscuit tops are golden brown, cooked through, and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes after baking to allow it to set for easier slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra authenticity, you can substitute the refrigerated biscuit dough with Cuban bread if available.
- Add a thin layer of mayonnaise under the mustard for a creamier texture if preferred.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the casserole for clean servings.
- Optional dried parsley adds color and subtle flavor but can be omitted or replaced with fresh parsley.
