Why we love it:

  • So easy the kids can do it. With simple steps, this recipe takes just 5 minutes of prep time, which makes it an AH-MAZING easy dinner idea.
  • Flavor variations. Casseroles are by nature versatile, and this pizza version is no different! Just top it with your favorites and make it your own.
  • Family-friendly. It’s easy, it’s cheesy – it’s delicious. The entire family loves it.

    This was a great fast meal to make. Had teenage grandkids over and they loved it. Made a salad with it too. Thanks for the recipe!

    Great recipe! When do you add the pizza seasoning?

    1. Lil'Luna Team says:

      You can sprinkle it on top before baking. You can also add it to the sauce as you mix the biscuits in it. Either way!! The seasoning just adds a bit more flavor. You can omit if you prefer, too.
