Hi, I have an old and a newer Bisquick cookbook. One of the 'all time favorites' is the Sloppy Joe Bake..:
Heat oven to 375. grease a round pan, 9 x 1 1/2 inches. Make beef and sloppy joe sauce as directed on the can. Stir 2 cups Bisquick, 1/2 cup milk, 2 Tablespoons softened butter, and 1 egg until soft dough forms.
Spread dough in bottom and up the side of the pan to within 1/4 in. of the rim. Spoon beef mixture evenly over the dough.
Bake uncovered for 25 mins. Arrange cheese triangles (4 slices American cheese) on top of beef mixture. Bake about 5 mins. or until the cheese is melted. Aboout 6 servings at 310 calories each w/fat at 135 calories ea. ( 2 starch, 2 medium-fat meat diet exchanges)
This was also in the old cookbook. Very tasty. My sons used to like this when they were little. I still fix it for my husband and myself. Leftovers warmed in MW are good on reheat with lowered power Great with a salad and Sweet tea!!!
One that I grew up on was a variant of a tuna casserole. Cook up a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, drain and place in a wide shallow casserole dish. Mix in a can or two of tuna (depending on how meat-hungry the family is and on how much tuna you have on hand) and a can of cream soup. We always used cream of mushroom but I'll bet it would be tasty with other varieties as well. Mix up a batch of biscuit dough according to the Bisquick box directions and dollop spoons-full over the tuna mixture. Sometimes we'd add grated cheese to the biscuit dough, though not always. Bake in a 350 degree oven until the tuna part is bubbly-hot and the biscuit topping is golden and done-looking, about 20-25 minutes (sorry for the non-specific time, it's been a long time since we fixed this).
There isn't any reason you couldn't use other things besides tuna, of course. Ground beef would be tasty, as would cut-up cooked chicken. For that matter, you could cut up leftover pot roast and use that, too.

I swear it's like you were reading my mind. I was just thinking "Tuna is to be used in sandwiches only, lol"! This does sound good w/ chicken though...
I wonder if that sloppy joe one is the one I'm thinking about from when I was little? Is it possible to mix it w/ the bisquick or does it have to go on top?
When I was growing up, my mom made "tuna roll up." I still crave it once in awhile and make it at least once a year.
You follow the directions for the biscuit mix (with a bit more flour added) and roll it out into a large rectangle. Spread or spoon tuna and mayo (already mixed together) in a thin layer over the dough. Then roll up carefully into and log and slice into about 1.5 - 2 inch discs. Place the discs flat side down and bake according to the box directions. They will puff up a lot. Then we pour cream of mushroom soup over the top. It sounds really weird, but it is soooooo good. Gotta make this soon!!
