This delicious pizza casserole with biscuits is a simple family favorite that everyone loves. It’s a hearty and fun spin on classic Italian cuisine that is loaded with the tasty pizza flavors of spicy pepperoni and ooey-gooey cheese.
Everyone loves pizza, and we love any recipe that is a twist on this dish. These pizza muffins and this upside down pizza casserole are two more unique pizza recipes.
Pizza Casserole with Biscuits Ingredients
You will need:
- 1 (16.3-ounce) can Grands! Southern Homestyle Biscuits, 8 big biscuits
- 1 (14-ounce) jar of pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, divided
- 2½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 5 ounces of pepperoni slices
- Pinch of red pepper flakes, optional
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
SAUCE: You can use any brand of pizza sauce that you prefer for this casserole. Likewise, if you have a homemade pizza sauce recipe, that would work as well.
TOPPINGS: Feel free to add any of your favorite pizza toppings and get creative with this casserole. Some of our favorite additions are green peppers, mushrooms, green or black olives, and onions.
MEAT: If you are not a fan of pepperoni, you can switch it out for cooked ground beef or Italian sausage in this biscuit pizza bake.
CHEESE: To make your pizza casserole extra cheesy, add parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese along with the mozzarella.
RED PEPPER FLAKES: Sprinkling your casserole with a pinch of red pepper flakes is an optional addition that will give the dish a nice kick.
How To Make This Pizza Casserole With Biscuits Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
STEP TWO: Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
A pizza cutter sprayed with nonstick spray makes slicing the sticky dough much easier.
Spread the cut biscuit pieces in the greased casserole dish.
STEP THREE: Pour half of the jar of pizza sauce and ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning over the biscuits. Stir to thoroughly coat all the biscuit pieces with a bit of sauce.
STEP FOUR: Sprinkle about 1 cup of the cheese over the biscuit mixture and stir again to distribute evenly.
STEP FIVE: Pour the remaining pizza sauce over the biscuit mixture.
STEP SIX: Top with the remaining cheese and pepperoni. You may not need or want to use all of it, but you can for an extra cheesy dish.
STEP SEVEN: Sprinkle red pepper flakes and the remaining ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning over the casserole.
STEP EIGHT: Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the biscuits have puffed and the cheese is melted and beginning to turn golden brown.
STEP NINE: Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
PRO TIP:
Serve a slice of this casserole with a bowl of extra pizza sauce for dipping.
