Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole (Printable View)

Fluffy biscuit pieces bubble up through cheesy, saucy pizza filling for a satisfying family dinner.

# Ingredient List:

→ Biscuit Base

01 - 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

→ Pizza Sauce

02 - 1 1/2 cups pizza sauce

→ Toppings

03 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
04 - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
05 - 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
06 - 1/2 cup sliced black olives (optional)
07 - 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)

→ Seasonings

08 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
09 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
10 - 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
11 - Salt and black pepper to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
02 - Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into 1-inch pieces. Place the pieces in the prepared baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom.
03 - In a medium bowl, combine the biscuit pieces with 1 cup of pizza sauce and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese. Toss gently until all pieces are evenly coated.
04 - Spread the coated biscuit pieces evenly in the greased baking dish. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of pizza sauce over the top.
05 - Layer the sliced pepperoni, black olives, and diced bell peppers over the biscuit base. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over all toppings.
06 - Evenly sprinkle the dried Italian herbs, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper over the entire casserole.
07 - Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes until the biscuits are puffed and golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly throughout.
08 - Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the cheese to set slightly for easier scooping.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It transforms ordinary biscuits into something golden and puffy that soaks up all the pizza flavors
  • The cleanup is minimal since everything bakes in one dish
  • You can customize toppings based on what's hiding in your fridge
02 -
  • Don't skip tossing some biscuits in sauce before layering. This step distributes flavor throughout instead of just on top.
  • Resist the urge to add extra sauce. Too much liquid prevents the biscuits from baking through properly.
  • If the top is browning too fast, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
03 -
  • Let your biscuit dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting. It's easier to handle and cuts more cleanly.
  • If you're making this for picky eaters, put toppings in sections so everyone gets what they want.
