Easy cheesy pizza casserole is prepped in 5 minutes and only requires 5 ingredients for a dinner win!
Who Doesn’t Love Pizza?!
We are pizza lovers – especially making or own with Homemade Pizza Dough!
Having said that, we don’t always have time for homemade Pepperoni Pizza and when that’s the case, our go-to is this pizza casserole.
It’s a great dinner idea for kids, but it’s so simple the kids can even make it themselves (our 3 oldest take turns making this one. It’s definitely a family fav!
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.

COOK TIME: 22 minutes

Notes
Recipe tips.
- Smaller pan. Divide the ingredients evenly using two 8-inch square baking dishes and bake for 18-20 minutes. Serve one, and cool and freeze the other for later.
- We love classic pepperoni, but any favorite pizza toppings can be used.
- We use refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough, but flaky biscuits or even pizza dough can be used.
- The sauce may cause the biscuit pieces to be tacky on the outside, but the interior will be fully cooked. For further baking, tent a piece of tin foil over the top until cooked through.
