Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into quarters
Pizza sauce
Shredded mozzarella cheese
Pepperoni slices
Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled (optional)
Bell pepper, diced
Onion, diced
Black olives, sliced
Mushrooms, sliced
Italian seasoning
Garlic powder
Grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley or basil, chopped (optional)

Directions

I preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
I cut the refrigerated biscuits into quarters and place them in a large mixing bowl.
I add the pizza sauce, half of the mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, vegetables, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and cooked sausage if I am using it.
I gently stir everything together until the biscuit pieces are evenly coated.
I spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
I sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and the grated Parmesan over the top.
I bake the casserole for 30–35 minutes, until the biscuits are fully cooked and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
I let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before garnishing it with fresh parsley or basil and serving.

Variations

I make a meat lovers version by adding cooked bacon, ham, and Italian sausage.
I create a vegetarian version with mushrooms, spinach, olives, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
I use cooked shredded chicken and barbecue sauce instead of pizza sauce for a barbecue pizza twist.
I swap mozzarella for cheddar, provolone, or an Italian cheese blend for a different flavor.
I add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes when I want a spicy casserole.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover Bubble Up Pizza Casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If I want to keep it longer, I freeze individual portions for up to 2 months.

To reheat, I warm the casserole in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10–15 minutes until heated through. I can also reheat individual servings in the microwave for 1–2 minutes, although the oven helps keep the biscuit topping from becoming too soft.

FAQs

Can I use homemade biscuit dough?

Yes. I can use homemade biscuit dough as long as I cut it into small, evenly sized pieces before mixing it with the other ingredients.

How do I know when the casserole is fully baked?

I check that the biscuit pieces are cooked through in the center and that the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.

Can I prepare this casserole ahead of time?

Yes. I assemble the casserole a few hours ahead, cover it, and refrigerate it until I am ready to bake.

What other toppings can I add?

I enjoy adding cooked bacon, ham, spinach, pineapple, roasted peppers, banana peppers, or extra vegetables to customize the casserole.

Can I freeze the leftovers?

Yes. I let the casserole cool completely before freezing it in airtight containers for up to 2 months. I thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

I keep this Bubble Up Pizza Casserole with Biscuits in my meal rotation because it is quick, filling, and full of classic pizza flavors.
