This recipe is perfect for a quick dinner and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients:
- 1 can of refrigerated biscuits
- 1 pound of Italian sausage (or your choice of meat)
- 1 cup of pizza sauce
- 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup of pepperoni slices
- Optional toppings: bell peppers, onions, olives, or mushrooms
Tip: Feel free to customize the toppings based on your preferences or what you have on hand.
Step 2: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your Bubble Up Pizza cooks evenly and thoroughly.
Step 3: Cook the Sausage
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage.
- Cook until browned and fully cooked through, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
- Drain any excess grease.
Tip: You can substitute sausage with ground turkey or a meat alternative for a healthier option.
Step 4: Prepare the Biscuits
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the biscuit pieces with the cooked sausage, pizza sauce, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until well mixed.
Step 5: Assemble the Casserole
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Pour the biscuit mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni slices evenly on top.
Step 6: Bake the Pizza
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Common Pitfall to Avoid: Keep an eye on the pizza during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
Step 7: Let It Cool
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the dish set and makes it easier to serve.
