- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers (optional)
- 1/4 cup diced onions (optional)
- 1 tube refrigerated biscuit dough
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until browned. Drain any excess grease.
- Add Pizza Sauce: Stir in the pizza sauce with the cooked ground beef. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, ensuring the beef is coated with sauce. Remove from heat.
- Prepare the Biscuit Base: Cut the refrigerated biscuit dough into quarters. Layer the dough pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Layer the Bake: Spread the beef and sauce mixture over the biscuit pieces. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses over the top. Add pepperoni slices, black olives, green bell peppers, and onions as desired. Top with the remaining cheeses.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Allow the Cheesy Pizza Burger Bake to cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut into squares and enjoy your ultimate comfort meal!
Notes
- You can easily adjust the recipe to suit your tastes. Add more or less cheese, or switch up the toppings like mushrooms, sausage, or bacon.
