EASY BUBBLE UP PIZZA
So, first let me say, I originally had no intentions of posting this recipe. Mainly because I thought most folks had heard of it or were already making it. So, I didn’t expect it when I got an overwhelming response after posting the BUBBLE UP LASAGNA recipe last week. I received a few emails about where folks could find the Bubble Up Pizza recipe that I had mentioned in the BUBBLE UP LASAGNA post.

CANNED BISCUITS AND PIZZA TOPPINGS
My son calls it the Biscuit Pizza. Kids are kinda basic like that, huh? No cutesy recipe title necessary. Whatever you call it, I hope you’ll call it good! Biscuits, pizza sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Easy peasy!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
Italian sausage
pizza sauce
refrigerated Pillsbury Grands Jr. Biscuits
mozzarella cheese
pepperoni slices
*So, let’s take a minute to talk about a shortcut. If you don’t have time to (or just don’t want to) cook Italian sausage for this, then there is now this product that has recently shown up in the grocery stores. It is pre-cooked sausage crumbles by Jimmy Dean. I am really enjoying these. They are great as pizza toppings, in omelets and quiches. It has lots of uses and it really saves a step in cooking! You will find it in the refrigerated section of your grocery store near the other sausage products. I would use about half this bag for this recipe.

HOW TO MAKE BUBBLE UP PIZZA:
Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. If you are not using the pre-cooked sausage, you’re going to need to brown and crumble the Italian sausage and drain any excess grease.
Cut each biscuit into eighths. Most recipes for this call for cutting these into quarters and we just find that size to be too big so we like them a bit more bite-sized. Note: This is also a good teaching lesson for the kiddos. A fun way to introduce fractions.
In a bowl, combine pizza sauce with cut-up biscuits and cooked sausage. Stir to combine.
Spread this mixture evenly into prepared baking dish.
Then top with shredded cheese and sliced pepperoni. Little hands love to help with this job!
I like to sprinkle the top with some dried parsley. It doesn’t affect the flavor at all but it’s something I do because I think it makes it look pretty. But if you don’t already have some in your pantry, then don’t go out and buy it just for this.
Bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes until biscuits are cooked through. It is closer to the thirty minute mark in my oven.
Then serve.
This is great served with a salad.
And dig in! See? There are biscuits underneath all that cheese!
Note: Get creative with this! Add in any toppings that your family enjoys! Green peppers, onions and mushrooms are all great add-ins. If you don’t like the sausage, no problem, just leave it out of the recipe. And if your family loves a lot of sauce, you can add in another jar to this. This is so easy to really make the way your family will enjoy!
Enjoy!

Hi…here in Argentina we don´t have that kind of biscuits. The recipe looks great so do you have any recipe for that kind of biscuit in order to make them from scratch? Thanks in advance
Karen Finnegan says
What size pan do you bake this yummy sounding pizza in? Also just wondering have you ever considered adding a search function for your website so viewers don't have to scroll through hunting for recipes, instead we could search for individual dish recipes?
Brandie says
Hi Karen, it's a 9×13 baking dish. Also, there is a couple of recipe search functions on here. On the right side of the page there is a search box or you can click on the tab at the top that says "Recipe List" and you will find all of the recipes listed by type and alphabetical order. Hope that helps!
Tameko says
Hi Brandie,
I have tried several of your recipes, and I just wanted to say Thank You! My family loved this, and it was so easy to make!
Brandie says
Hi Tameko! Thank you so very much for that sweet comment! It makes all the work worth it just to know someone out there is loving these recipes!!

My first time trying this was such a hit, fixing this again tonight. Adding some banana peppers this time and using up the rest of the Jimmy Dean Precooked Sausage, (Thanks for the idea!) I love the versatility of this recipe! Thank you for taking the time to post this recipe.
Dallas says
I have made a layered version of this before, but I found this recipe to be much more flavorful. I thawed and crumbled frozen meatballs, added chopped onions, green peppers, green olives, pepperoni, and diced jalapenos. Mixing the sauce with the biscuits kept everything moist. I baked mine for 40 minutes and it was perfect, no doughy spots and not too brown on bottom. A definite do again!!
Pauley says
Would a dumpling type dough be a good alternative instead of the biscuits as I live in Australia and can’t get that product here?????
Brandie @ The Country Cook says
Pauley, a lot of people think that our biscuits are like scones in Australia but it really isn’t the same. Our biscuits are fluffy and have their own unique texture. You could make your own refrigerated biscuit dough with some flour, baking powder, vegetable shortening (or butter) and milk. If you Google ‘refrigerated biscuit dough’ you should come up with some good homemade substitutes. 🙂
Vicki says
Could you maybe lay the biscuits on the bottom of the pan, like a pizza crust then add toppings? Rather than cut into pieces? I think my mom used to make this ….more like a pizza in a cake pan.
