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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
