It’s the cure for those hangry nights after the longest of days when you just want hot cozy comfort food fast.

Ready in about 30 minutes and featuring my kids’ favorite flavor profile (pizza!), this is sure to be a staple in any busy parent’s meal plans.

What is bubble up casserole?

Anytime you see the words “bubble up” in front of some sort of casserole dish it is referring to the canned biscuits.

They get cut into fourths and puff up as they bake, bubbling up in the casserole.

Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Sausage– Italian sausage. Save yourself some time and brown it up ahead of time in a big batch.
Pizza sauce– Your favorite kind
Biscuit Dough– The kind in the can. I recommend Pillsbury Grands
Cheese– Shredded mozzarella or shredded Italian blend
Pepperoni– Slices
Italian seasoning– Optional

How to Make

This bubble up pizza is super easy to make.

Start by browning your sausage if you haven’t done that ahead of time, crumbling it as it cooks.

When it’s fully cooked and crumbled, drain the sausage.

Set the sausage aside.

Cut each biscuit into eighths.

Stir together the sausage, cut biscuits, and pizza sauce in a bowl.

Spread this mixture evenly into a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish.

Top the mixture with the shredded cheese, pepperoni, and an optional sprinkle of Italian seasoning.

If desired sprinkle the top with a bit of Italian seasoning.

Bake the casserole uncovered at 375 degrees for about 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through.

Enjoy!

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers tightly wrapped in the casserole dish in the fridge for up to 4 days after you originally cooked the sausage.

Reheat in a hot oven until the cheese is bubbly again or scoop individual portions into a microwave safe dish and microwave until warm.

Tips and Tricks

You could add other toppings to this. A drained can of sliced black olives, sliced mushroom, and peppers would all be yummy and add veggies into the mix.
If you are planning this meal for a busy night, brown the sausage ahead of time.
Don’t like sausage? Skip it or brown up some ground beef seasoned with Italian seasoning and garlic and use that instead.
