Notes
You can make this bubble up without the meat if you prefer or use all ground beef or all sausage.
You can make the sauce ahead of time and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature and then add biscuit pieces right before baking.
Add sauteed onions, and/or mushrooms to the sauce if desired
If you want a higher bread to sauce ratio, add an additional small can {4 or 5} of biscuit quarters and place them closer together
Garnish with fresh basil leaves to dress it up and serve with addtional freshly grated Parmesan cheese
