Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 15 oz (425 g) pizza sauce
- 2 cups (480 ml) shredded mozzarella cheese
- pepperoni
- Italian sausage
- bell peppers
- onions
Instructions
- Preheating and Preparation: Calibrate the oven to 350°F and delicately lubricate a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent adherence.
- Biscuit Deconstruction: Segment refrigerated buttermilk biscuits into precise quarters using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, creating uniform bite-sized pieces.
- Base Configuration: Strategically arrange biscuit segments across the dish, establishing an even foundation with minimal overlap, positioning slightly stacked portions toward the dish’s periphery for optimal thermal distribution.
- Sauce and Cheese Application: Lavishly drench the biscuit base with pizza sauce, ensuring complete coverage, then generously sprinkle mozzarella cheese to create a rich, molten landscape that will transform during baking.
- Topping Customization: Adorn the cheese layer with preferred pizza toppings, personalizing the culinary creation with individual flavor preferences.
- Baking Transformation: Slide the assembled dish into the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, tracking the progression until the biscuit base achieves a golden-brown complexion and the cheese bubbles with tempting intensity.
- Resting and Serving: Extract the casserole from the oven and allow a brief 5-minute respite, permitting ingredients to harmonize and cool slightly before presenting this delectable pizza-inspired masterpiece.
Notes
- Precise Biscuit Cutting: Quarter refrigerated biscuits uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the casserole.
- Strategic Layering Technique: Distribute biscuit pieces evenly, with slightly stacked pieces at dish edges for optimal heat circulation and balanced cooking.
- Cheese Melting Mastery: Spread mozzarella generously to create a complete, creamy coverage that bubbles and browns perfectly during baking.
- Resting Period Matters: Allow 5-minute cooling time after baking to let ingredients set and flavors meld, preventing burning and improving overall dish consistency.
