Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Friends, sometimes you just need to break open that can of biscuit dough and feed the family some Pepperoni Bubble Up Pizza. The whole family will love it, and you’ll find yourself going back for seconds.
Trust me, there’s something irresistible about the combination of pizza sauce, pepperoni, cheese and canned biscuit dough.
Did I mention this recipe is super easy? So easy, my kids can put it together while I mix up a side salad. I’ll take extra help in the kitchen any time I can get it.
And since my boys love this dish, it’s pretty easy to enlist them as sous chefs.
This recipe seems especially popular in my house full of boys, but honestly, I love it as much as the rest of them.
You can certainly add other pizza toppings to this dish, like mushrooms, olives, or cooked Italian sausage, but we usually keep it pretty simple and just add pepperoni and cheese.
If you want to make two different varieties of bubble up pizza, just separate the recipe into two square baking dishes. If I have fresh basil handy, I like to sprinkle some over the top before serving.
A bit of extra Parmesan cheese grated over the top makes a great garnish as well.
We never have leftovers when I serve this pizza casserole for dinner. Which makes it a winner in my book!
This Pepperoni Bubble Up Pizza is sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike! I hope you love this tasty pizza casserole as much as we do!

Hi Danelle, I just subscribed to your site and I wanted to let you know that these recipes that I have seen, which is all that are posted on this first email newsletter, look great.
There are just 2 of us, now that our 3 kids and the families live in 2 different states than we do. Darn!!!!
Anyway, the recipes will do the 2 of us just fine, as we are both disabled and don’t cook each day for a main meal.
We like left overs, so these will work great.
Thanks for posting your great meals and we do love Italian, Mexican and good old Down Home foods.
God Bless You and your family, Linda
