Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole is a fun and easy twist on traditional pizza, combining bite-sized biscuit dough with savory meat, sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings. This hearty casserole is perfect for a family dinner or casual gathering, offering all the flavors of pizza in a comforting, layered dish.

Ingredients

• 2 cans biscuit dough (preferably Halal-certified, at room temperature)
• 1 lb ground meat (beef or turkey, Halal-certified)
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup assorted pizza toppings (bell peppers, onions, olives, halved cherry tomatoes, etc.)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with oil or cooking spray.
2. Step 2: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground meat until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then drain any excess fat.
3. Step 3: Cut the biscuit dough into quarters and place them in a large mixing bowl.
4. Step 4: Add the cooked meat, pizza sauce, shredded cheese, and assorted pizza toppings to the bowl with the biscuit dough. Toss gently until everything is well combined and coated.
5. Step 5: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Optionally, sprinkle additional cheese on top for extra cheesiness.
6. Step 6: Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
7. Step 7: Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Tips & Variations

• For added flavor, try mixing different cheeses such as cheddar or provolone with the mozzarella.
• Customize your toppings based on preference—pepperoni, mushrooms, or spinach all work great.
• Using room temperature biscuit dough helps it mix more easily and bake evenly.
• To keep it vegetarian, substitute the meat with sautéed mushrooms or a plant-based alternative.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the whole casserole covered with foil in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through.

FAQs

Can I use frozen biscuit dough for this recipe?

Yes, but it’s best to let the biscuit dough come to room temperature before mixing; this ensures even baking and easier handling.

What if I don’t have pizza sauce on hand?

You can substitute with marinara sauce or make a simple sauce by mixing tomato paste with garlic powder, dried herbs, and a little olive oil.
