Homemade Uncrustables Recipe
Skip the grocery store and buy UNCRUSTABLES at home. Make them peanut butter or pizza or with lunchmeat for easy lunch packing!
Servings: 16 sandwiches
Cost: 8
Ingredients
For the PB&J Uncrustables:
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands Biscuits (8 biscuits), NOT the “flakey” kind
- 8 tablespoons Peanut Butter
- 8 teaspoons Jelly or honey
For the Pizza Uncrustables:
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands Biscuits (8 biscuits), NOT the “flakey” kind
- 8 tablespoons Pizza Sauce
- ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese
- 8 slices Pepperoni (optional)
Instructions
To make the PB&J:
- Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high.
- Open the can of biscuits and cut each biscuit in half like you’re making a sandwich. Place about 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on one side of the raw biscuit dough. If desired, top with some jam or honey. Place the top raw half of the biscuit on top and pinch the edges to seal. (The sealing is important or peanut butter will leak all over your waffle maker!)
- Depending on the size of your waffle maker, cook one sandwich at a time. (My waffle maker is a standard round size and I make one in the center.) Cook about 2-5 minutes until golden. Time will vary depending on your waffle maker, so just watch the first few and see how long they take.
- Cool slightly (or completely) before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to one month. To reheat, simply microwave until warm. You can also toast them to make them crunchy. Or just place a frozen sandwich in a lunch box the night before and it’ll be defrosted by lunch the next day!

Notes
- These are also great when made with deli turkey or ham and cheese!
- Every waffle maker cooks differently so be sure to adjust cook time to suit yours.
- Make sure you don’t put too much filling in the center of your Homemade Uncrustables, if you over-fill them, they can break open and ooze on your waffle maker. Put a dollop of the filling in the center. Believe me- it will be enough!
- Make sure you fully pinch the sides together on the Uncrustable. The same thing goes! If there are any gaps left, you could have another waffle maker- sticky peanut butter- nightmare
- To defrost, simply microwave until warm. You can also toast them to make them crunchy. For an easy pre-made lunch, just place a frozen sandwich in a lunch box the night before, and it’ll be defrosted by lunch the next day!
