Ingredients
1 tube (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough, such as Grands!
1 jar (24 oz) marinara or pasta sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 package (5 oz) mini pepperoni
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Red pepper flakes, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the Biscuit Dough
Cut each biscuit into 4 to 6 bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Combine the Ingredients
Add the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, half of the mozzarella cheese, and half of the mini pepperoni. Gently toss until the biscuit pieces are evenly coated.
Assemble the Casserole
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
Add the Toppings
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, followed by the remaining mini pepperoni. Finish with the Parmesan cheese, if using.
Bake
Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the biscuit pieces are puffed and golden brown, the sauce is bubbling, and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Pair this cozy pizza bake with:
A crisp Caesar salad
Garlic bread or breadsticks
Steamed broccoli or roasted vegetables
A simple side of fresh fruit
Tips for Success
Make sure the biscuit pieces are fully coated in sauce to prevent dry spots.
For extra flavor, add cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, or sliced black olives.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave.
