Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll out each biscuit flat.
- Spoon Ragu spaghetti sauce on the dough.
- Top with your favorite pizza toppings such as pepperoni, hamburger, sausage, and green peppers.
- Bake the pizzas as you would the biscuits until golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier crust, pre-bake the rolled-out biscuits for a few minutes before adding toppings. You can substitute the Ragu spaghetti sauce with pizza sauce or even a homemade tomato sauce for extra flavor. Feel free to experiment with toppings; vegetables like mushrooms or olives work well, and you can use any type of cheese you prefer, such as cheddar or provolone.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these homemade pizzas with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with Lee'S Scalloped Potatoes, making for a comforting dinner. You can also cut them into smaller pieces for a fun appetizer at parties or game days. A light dipping sauce like ranch or marinara can enhance the experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melty. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes, but this may result in a softer crust.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen biscuits instead of canned?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuits! Just allow them to thaw slightly before rolling them out. Follow the same instructions for shaping and baking, but keep an eye on the baking time as it may vary slightly.
What can I use if I don't have Ragu spaghetti sauce?
If you don't have Ragu spaghetti sauce, any jarred pizza sauce or a simple homemade tomato sauce made with crushed tomatoes, garlic, and Italian herbs will work perfectly. Adjust the seasoning to your taste for best results.
How can I make these pizzas healthier?
To make these pizzas healthier, use whole wheat or gluten-free biscuits. Load up on vegetables like spinach, onions, and mushrooms for added nutrition. Opt for low-fat cheese or a smaller amount of cheese to reduce calories while still enjoying the flavor.
