This dish combines the flavors of your favorite pizza with the ease of a casserole—perfect for family nights, potlucks, or whenever you’re craving cheesy, saucy goodness.

What You’ll Need

• 1 pound ground sausage (browned and drained)
• 1 (15-ounce) can pizza sauce
• 2 (6-7.5 ounce) packages of refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (10 biscuits each)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• About 25 slices of pepperoni

How to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare your pan: Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
3. Cut the biscuits: Slice each biscuit into sixths. A pizza cutter works great for this step, and it’s a fun job for little helpers!
4. Mix it up: In a large bowl, combine the cut biscuits, pizza sauce, and cooked sausage. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
5. Assemble the dish: Spread the mixture evenly into your prepared baking dish.
6. Add toppings: Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and layer with pepperoni slices.
7. Bake: Pop it in the oven, uncovered, for 25-35 minutes or until the biscuits are cooked through and bubbly.
8. Cool and serve: Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to let everything set.

Bubble Pizza holds a special place in my heart. My cousin, who battled cancer most of her adult life, was often the recipient of meal trains. When asked about her family’s favorite dish, this was the recipe she shared with me. It’s been a hit in my family, too, and I’m so happy to pass it along.

Make it Dairy-Free

What I love about this recipe is how easy it is to adapt. I make it dairy-free for my daughter by using dairy-free cheese—or sometimes I even skip the cheese entirely, and it’s still delicious. If you go this route, just double-check the ingredient labels to make sure they’re still safe. (For biscuits, I’ve had great luck with Aldi’s store brand or Pillsbury’s refrigerated biscuits.)

This dish is a lifesaver for busy nights, a fun dinner for kids to help with, and even a thoughtful meal to take to a friend. It’s simple, satisfying, and full of comfort—just like a good meal should be. I hope your family enjoys it as much as ours does!
