The "Cheesy Pull-Apart Casserole" is the ultimate party food, transforming a simple loaf of bread or canned dough into an irresistible, shareable dish filled with melted cheese and rich, savory flavors. Beloved for its gooey texture and ease of serving—guests simply pull off a piece—this appetizer is a guaranteed smash hit at any potluck, holiday gathering, or game day.
While it can be made with canned biscuits (often called "bubble bread"), the most impressive and popular version uses a whole loaf of crusty bread, which is sliced and stuffed with garlicky, buttery goodness.
