How to Make Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Open both cans of biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters or bite-sized pieces using a knife or pizza cutter.
Step 2: Add Dough to the Baking Dish
Spread the biscuit pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish. Try to keep them in a single layer, placing slightly stacked pieces closer to the edges where they’ll cook faster.
Step 3: Add Sauce and Cheese
Spoon the pizza sauce evenly over the biscuit dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top. If you have Parmesan on hand, feel free to add a little for extra flavor.
Step 4: Add Your Favorite Toppings
Top with pepperoni or any pizza toppings you love—Italian sausage, mushrooms, olives, onions, bell peppers, or fresh herbs.
Step 5: Bake
Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Check the center for doneness, as it takes the longest to cook.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serving Ideas
Eat it with a fork or grab it with your hands—either way, it’s delicious. Serve with a simple green salad, steamed veggies, or fresh fruit to round out the meal.
Tips for Success
- Cut biscuits smaller if you’ve had trouble with undercooked centers
- Glass or ceramic dishes may require a slightly longer bake time than metal
- You can pre-bake the biscuit dough for 5–10 minutes if needed before adding toppings
- Cold leftovers reheat beautifully in the air fryer
Storage & Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven, microwave, or air fryer until warmed through.
