Ingredients:

  • 16 oz refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 cups pizza sauce
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup pre cooked Italian sausage crumbles
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease your 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Prep the biscuit bubbles. Cut each of the 16 oz refrigerated biscuits into 8 equal pieces (approx. 2cm chunks).
  3. Oil the dough. Place biscuit pieces in a large bowl and drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil. Toss gently until every piece is lightly coated.
  4. Season and sauce. Add the 1.5 cups pizza sauce, 1 tsp oregano, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder to the bowl.
  5. Add the core proteins. Fold in the 1/2 cup sausage crumbles and 1 cup (half) of the mozzarella cheese.
  6. Transfer to the pan. Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared dish, ensuring no large gaps remain.
  7. Initial bake. Place in the oven for 20 minutes until the biscuits are puffed and no longer look translucent.
  8. Top with cheese. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella, the 1/2 cup pepperoni, and 1/4 cup parmesan over the top.
  9. Final crisp. Bake for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and pepperoni edges are crackling.
  10. Rest and serve. Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes. Note: This allows the sauce to thicken and the structure to set so it doesn't fall apart when scooped.
