Ingredients

  • 2 packages ready-to-bake biscuits (10 inch each)
  • 1 jar Ragu pizza sauce (15 1/2 oz.)
  • 3 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • your own pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, etc.)

Instructions

  1. With kitchen scissors, cut each biscuit into quarters.
  2. Mix the biscuit pieces with pizza sauce in a bowl.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch glass pan.
  4. Top with your favorite pizza toppings and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Bake at 350°F for approximately 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Tips & Substitutions

For a quicker prep, use pre-sliced toppings like pepperoni or pre-chopped vegetables. If you want a lighter version, consider using whole wheat biscuits. Feel free to swap the Ragu pizza sauce for your favorite homemade sauce or a store-bought marinara. Experiment with cheeses by adding some Parmesan or cheddar for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Quick-N-Easy Pan Pizza with a fresh side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with Little Boys Banana Bread for a sweet finish. You can also offer a variety of dipping sauces on the side, such as ranch or marinara, to enhance the flavors.

Storage & Reheating

To store leftovers, keep the pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 1-2 minutes until heated through. This helps maintain the crispy texture of the crust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen biscuits instead of ready-to-bake?

Yes, you can use frozen biscuits. Just make sure to thaw them completely before cutting them into quarters and mixing with the sauce. This will help them bake evenly and achieve the desired texture.

What other toppings can I use?

You can customize your pizza with a range of toppings, such as bell peppers, olives, onions, or cooked sausage. Feel free to get creative! Just remember that the more toppings you add, the longer it may take to bake, so keep an eye on it.

Can I make this pizza ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can prepare the pizza up to the baking step, cover it tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the oven for even cooking.
