Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. You can also substitute the Ragu pizza sauce with homemade marinara or another favorite pizza sauce. Don't forget to season the biscuit dough with garlic powder for added flavor. If you like a bit of heat, consider adding crushed red pepper flakes to the meat mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these pizza in biscuits warm, garnished with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color. They pair well with a simple side salad or some roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. You can also offer a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch or additional pizza sauce, for extra flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the filled biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. This will help maintain the biscuit's texture, so they stay delicious.
