INGREDIENT NOTES:
GRANDS BISCUITS:
- The Grands biscuits are a soft, fluffy dough and help to make the base of casserole. They bake into golden, tender pieces in the marinara sauce and give the dish a delicious pizza-like flavor. Homemade biscuit dough can also be used as a substitute, as per your choice.
MARINARA SAUCE:
- Marinara sauce is a tomato-flavored sauce. It will add a rich and fresh flavor to the casserole. It keeps the biscuits moist and gives the dish a pizza taste. You can use homemade pizza sauce or tomato sauce as an alternative, as per your preference in the recipe.
GROUND BEEF:
- The Ground beef adds a rich and savory flavor to the recipe. It will also make up the filling of the casserole. You should cook and drain the beef before adding it to the casserole, and add some seasonings to it for extra taste. The ground chicken or ground chicken can also be used instead as per your choice.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- The mozzarella cheese gives a cheesy and creamy flavor to the casserole. It melts very smoothly and keeps the texture cheesy. The topping of the biscuit will become soft, and you will enjoy eating it. Cheddar cheese & Monterey Jack cheese work well in the recipe as an alternative and give the best result.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Firstly, heat the oven and grease a baking dish with oil.
- Then heat the pan on a low flame and add the ground beef and cook it until it gets brown.
- Now cut the biscuit into small pieces and spread them in a dish.
- Then add the marinara sauce to the biscuit pieces and spread it evenly.
- Now add the cooked beef, spread it on the sides of the dish, and arrange the pepperoni slices on the beef.
- Now spread the mozzarella cheese on the top and bake for 35 biscuits until the biscuit gets brown and cheese melts.
- At the end, leave the casserole for 5 minutes, then serve.
TIPS:
- Include the cheese evenly for the cheesy topping.
- Take some rest to let the casserole set properly, then serve it.
- Make all the biscuit pieces the same size, so they cook properly.
- Keep the sauce less, so the biscuits do not become soft.
