Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (about 16 oz)
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20–25 pepperoni slices
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Optional Veggies and Variations

  • Bell peppers, sliced (optional)
  • Black olives, sliced (optional)
  • Mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini (for vegetarian version)
  • Jalapeño slices or crushed red pepper flakes (for spicy kick)
  • Cooked sausage, bacon bits, or ground beef (for meat lover’s version)
  • Gluten-free biscuit dough (for gluten-free version)
  • Cheddar or Parmesan cheese (for extra cheesy variation)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Biscuit Dough: Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into bite-sized pieces and spread them evenly across the bottom of a greased casserole dish to create the fluffy, bubbly base.
  2. Layer the Pizza Sauce: Pour the pizza sauce evenly over the biscuit pieces, ensuring all pieces are well coated to infuse the casserole with rich tomato flavor.
  3. Add Cheese and Toppings: Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then evenly distribute pepperoni slices or your choice of toppings across the casserole.
  4. Sprinkle Italian Seasoning: Lightly dust the top of the casserole with Italian seasoning to add aromatic herb flavors.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

  • Let biscuit dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before baking for even cooking.
  • Spread pizza sauce in a thin, even layer to prevent sogginess.
  • Use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese for better melting and flavor.
  • Ensure the oven is fully preheated to achieve a golden crust.
  • Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes after baking to set and slice easily.
