Ingredients

Base

  • 2 cans pre-made biscuits (16-20 biscuits total, such as Pillsbury Grands Jr)

Pizza Sauce & Seasoning

  • 15 oz pizza sauce
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

Cheese

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Toppings

  • Pizza toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, peppers, onion, sausage, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking and aid in even cooking.
  2. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it's fully heated when ready to bake.
  3. Break biscuits: In a large bowl, break each biscuit into about 4-5 small pieces to mimic a doughy, bite-sized pizza crust texture.
  4. Combine ingredients: Add pizza sauce, one cup of shredded mozzarella, Italian seasoning, and your chosen pizza toppings to the bowl with biscuit pieces. Mix thoroughly so every piece is evenly coated with sauce and toppings.
  5. Assemble casserole: Pour the biscuit mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining one cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top for a melty, golden finish.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the casserole is slightly browned and the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Optional broil: For an extra bubbly and browned cheese topping, place the casserole under the broiler for an additional 3-4 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Notes

  • You can customize the casserole with any pizza toppings you prefer, such as mushrooms, olives, or different meats.
  • Using pre-shredded mozzarella cheese saves time, but fresh mozzarella can be used for a creamier texture.
  • Be careful when broiling to avoid burning the cheese; stay attentive during this step.
  • Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated.
