Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuits
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup diced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Open the refrigerated biscuit can and cut each biscuit into quarters using a sharp knife. This will help the biscuits create a bubbly, textured surface in the casserole.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the quartered biscuits, pizza sauce, diced pepperoni, diced bell peppers, and Italian seasoning. Gently toss the ingredients until the biscuits are evenly coated with sauce.
- Transfer the mixed ingredients into the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the casserole, covering the entire surface.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the dish to set and makes it easier to portion.
- Slice and serve hot, garnishing with additional Italian seasoning or fresh chopped basil if desired.
Tips
- Cut biscuits into uniform quarters for even cooking and the best "bubble up" texture.
- Use a non-stick baking dish or generously grease your pan to prevent sticking.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite pizza toppings like olives, mushrooms, or different meats.
- For extra crispy edges, sprinkle a bit of grated Parmesan cheese on top before baking.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.
- For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or use a spicy pizza sauce.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
