  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Sauce

  • 1 pound ground mild Italian sausage
  • 1 15 ounce can pizza sauce

Base

  • 2 16.3-ounce tubes large refrigerated biscuits

Vegetables and Toppings

  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1 green pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the bubble pizza.
  2. Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground mild Italian sausage and brown it thoroughly, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  3. Mix sausage with sauce: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the entire can of pizza sauce, combining well to create a savory sausage mixture.
  4. Prepare biscuit base: Lightly grease a 9" x 13" baking dish. Tear the refrigerated large biscuits into quarters and arrange them in a single layer on the bottom of the dish.
  5. Par-bake biscuit base: Place the baking dish with biscuit pieces in the oven and bake for 5 minutes to start cooking the biscuits.
  6. Add sausage layer: Remove the dish from the oven and spread the sausage and pizza sauce mixture evenly over the par-baked biscuit base.
  7. Add vegetables and pepperoni: Evenly layer the diced onions, green pepper, sliced mushrooms, and sliced pepperoni over the sausage mixture for added flavor and texture.
  8. Bake the layered pizza: Return the dish to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the flavors to meld.
  9. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese generously over the entire dish.
  10. Final bake to melt cheese: Bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and beginning to brown.
  11. Rest before serving: Let the bubble pizza stand for 5-10 minutes after baking to allow it to set and cool slightly, making it easier to serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute mild Italian sausage with spicy for a more robust flavor.
  • If you prefer, use homemade biscuit dough instead of refrigerated biscuits.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with your favorite vegetables or meats.
  • For crispier biscuit edges, bake uncovered as directed.
  • Allowing the pizza to rest before serving helps the layers set and flavors meld.
