The other day I got a call from my friend Sarah over at Snixy Kitchen, and she said, “Do you have a minute to brainstorm ideas? I need a recipe that appeals to middle America moms. I instantly thought of you.” I laughed so hard because it’s so, so true. Guys, I’m posting a recipe for PIZZA CASSEROLE. If that’s not middle America, then I don’t know what is.
This is the EASIEST casserole on the planet. Seriously guys, you don’t even have to bust out the knife (you know how I hate chopping. See these no-chop Easy Baked Meatballs and even this Fancy Salad.) Instead we are going full scale trashy and using scissors to cut up all the biscuits and pepperoni.
I like that this recipe is not pasta. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good pasta, but it’s just not pizza. This recipe uses biscuit dough, so it’s kind of like getting little pieces of crust in every bite. And then in between that you’ve got delicious spiced sauce, tons of pepperoni and don’t forget all the melty cheese.
You could probably add whatever “toppings” you wanted to this pizza. I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why you couldn’t add cooked sausage, olives, green peppers, or even Canadian bacon and pineapple!
A word of caution, this recipe takes forever to bake. I used 2 cans of biscuits because one wouldn’t be enough to feed my family and using one and a half is just annoying. So I used two, which makes for a very FULL casserole dish. (Make sure you bake with a pan underneath in case it overflows.) But also because there is so much in there, it takes a while for the biscuits to get baked through. When you take it out, test it with a toothpick and dig around a bit in a biscuit piece to make sure it’s cooked through. If not, put the cover back on and pop it in for a few more minutes.
You are going to love how easy this Middle America Casserole is. Because cheese. Haha! Be sure to serve it with extra hot pizza sauce at the table! This recipe would be SO good served with the Apple Gorgonzola Salad I just posted.
