Ingredients for the Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole

You only need a handful of ingredients to make this casserole, and they’re all pantry or fridge staples. Here’s a look at what you’ll be working with and why each one matters.

Refrigerated biscuit dough: This is the base of the casserole and creates that bubbly, fluffy texture.

Pizza sauce: Brings all the savory, tomato-rich flavor that holds the dish together.

Shredded mozzarella cheese: Melts beautifully and gives that gooey pizza feel.

Mini pepperoni or chopped pepperoni: Adds salty, savory bites throughout.

Italian seasoning: A blend of herbs that boosts the classic pizza flavor.

Olive oil (optional): Brushed on top for extra browning and richness.

How To Make the Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish so nothing sticks and cleanup is a breeze.

Step 2: Cut the Biscuits

Take your refrigerated biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. This allows them to “bubble up” better and evenly distribute through the casserole.

Step 3: Mix Everything Together

In a large mixing bowl, combine the biscuit pieces, pizza sauce, half the shredded cheese, most of the pepperoni, and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. Toss everything to coat the biscuits well.

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out. Top with the remaining cheese and scatter the rest of the pepperoni on top.

Step 5: Bake Until Golden

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the biscuits are fully cooked through and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 6: Rest and Serve

Let the casserole sit for about 5 minutes after baking to set a bit. Then scoop and serve warm.

Serving and Storing Your Bubble Up Biscuit Pizza Casserole

This dish is perfect straight out of the oven and can easily feed 6 people as a main course. It makes a comforting weeknight dinner but also works great as a party dish or potluck favorite. If you have leftovers, they store beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just reheat in the oven or microwave.

To freeze, bake first, cool completely, then wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat in the oven for best results.
