Introduction

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of making a delicious Bubble Up Pizza, a fun and easy casserole dish that combines the flavors of pizza using refrigerated biscuits. 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.
