Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole Recipe

Introduction

Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole is an easy, crowd-pleasing dish that combines flaky biscuit dough with classic pizza flavors. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or casual gathering when you want something comforting and quick to make.

Ingredients

• 2 cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (see notes)
• 1 (15 oz) jar pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• Pizza toppings of choice (we love pepperoni & Italian sausage)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Step 2: Open both cans of biscuits. Use a pizza cutter or knife to cut each biscuit into quarters or small bite-sized pieces.
3. Step 3: Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared dish. If needed, stack pieces slightly near the edges where they will cook faster.
4. Step 4: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the biscuit dough using a spoon or small spatula. Then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and add your preferred pizza toppings on top.
5. Step 5: Bake the casserole uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is cooked through and the cheese starts to brown. Check the center first, as it takes the longest to bake.
6. Step 6: Let the casserole cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, sauté your pizza toppings like sausage or vegetables before adding them to the casserole.
• Try different cheeses such as cheddar or provolone for a twist on the classic mozzarella.
• If you prefer a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuit dough if available.
• Add herbs like oregano or basil to the pizza sauce for a fresher taste.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until warmed through to keep the biscuit crust crisp.

Main Ingredients

• 2 cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (see notes)
• 1 (15 oz) jar pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• Pizza toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, Italian sausage)

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
2. Cut Biscuits: Open both cans of buttermilk biscuits and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut each biscuit into quarters or small bite-sized pieces for even cooking and easy layering.
3. Assemble Dough Layer: Arrange the biscuit pieces evenly in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Slightly stack pieces near the edges where the heat is highest for better cooking consistency.
4. Spread Sauce and Add Toppings: Evenly spoon the pizza sauce over the biscuit layer, then sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese uniformly on top. Add your preferred pizza toppings such as pepperoni and Italian sausage to complete the layers.
5. Bake the Casserole: Place the casserole uncovered in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the biscuit dough is fully cooked through and the cheese is melted and starts to brown, checking the center for doneness which takes the longest.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving to let it set slightly for easier slicing and better flavor development.

Notes

• You can use any refrigerated buttermilk biscuit brand; refrigerated dough saves time and adds fluffy texture.
• Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings such as mushrooms, olives, bell peppers, or cooked sausage.
• If you prefer a crisper crust, you can place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
• This dish is great for meal prepping and reheats well in the oven or microwave.
