Ingredients

1 tube Pillsbury Grands! Southern Homestyle Biscuits (8 count, 16.3 ounces)
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
16 ounces pizza sauce
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
20-24 slices pepperoni
red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.
Cut each biscuit into 8 pieces and place in pan. Toss biscuit pieces with the butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan. Arrange into an even layer in the pan.
Evenly spread pizza sauce over the biscuit dough. Top with mozzarella and pepperoni. If desired, sprinkle with more Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.
Cover pan with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake 5-10 more minutes or until the biscuits are done. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best flavor and gooeyness, use freshly grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheese.
Check the center biscuits for doneness by removing one with a fork and testing it or checking with a digital thermometer -- the internal temperature should be from 205 to 210 degrees.
Make this bubble up pizza casserole recipe ahead of time. Assemble, cover with foil or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to a day. Let it sit at room temp for 30 minutes, then bake as directed. You may need to add a few minutes of baking time.
