Instructions
Wash, hull, and quarter or slice strawberries and place in a medium bowl. Add sugar and tapioca and mix well. Let strawberries rest for 15 minutes (to activate the tapioca) while you prepare the biscuit mixture below.
Preheat oven to 350º F. Gently stir together Bisquick and milk in a medium mixing bowl until only large lumps of flour are visible.
Add the strawberry mixture to the bottom of the casserole dish or skillet. Drop the biscuits mixture by the spoonful, about 8 biscuits total.
Bake in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the strawberry filling is bubbly and the biscuits on top are golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or cream cheese.
To make this recipe without Bisquick, learn how to make simple biscuits to top your cobbler. Pat the dough to 1/2" thick and use 2" biscuit cutters. What if you don't have biscuit cutters? Cut them into 2" squares.
Or make your own Bisquick! Here is my easy baking mix recipe to keep on hand.
Substitute 2.5 cups of Bisquick and 1 cup of milk with:
2 cups Gluten Free Bisquick, 1/3 cup of shortening, 2/3 cup of milk, 3 eggs. Cut shortening into the Bisquick with a fork until it resembles small pebbles. Add the rest of the ingredients. Continue onto Step 3 of Instructions above.

Recipe Variations:
Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler Combine strawberries with fresh or frozen rhubarb for a sweet-tart flavor. The rhubarb adds brightness, while the strawberries keep it classic. Add a splash of vanilla extract to round out the flavor.

Strawberry Blueberry Cobbler A crowd-pleasing combo with juicy blueberries and sweet strawberries. This variation holds up beautifully when baked and has that classic crumble appeal.
Storing Instructions:
You can freeze cobbler in a tightly sealed container for up to three months. To reheat, bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes.
Make Ahead Instructions:
