It doesn't get much easier than this, and the best part is, it's so good! A great alternative to pizza night at home! -
YUM, YUM, YUM, delicious, the only change I made is that I put half the mixture in the dish, sprinkled cheese over, then put the rest of the meat mix over that, sprinkled with cheese and then put the biscuits. My husband said this is a keeper. -
My family loves this dish! I use croissant instead of biscuits and I brush on a little melted butter/garlic salt mixture on top. Always good served with a salad! ??

I made a few substitutes in the recipe: turkey instead of beef, garlic powder instead of fresh garlic, and spagetti sauce instead of pizza sauce. The saddest part, however, was that I had to make it without pepperoni because I forgot to buy some at the store. Despite the lack of pepperoni, this recipe was delicious. It may have been the dish I used, but there wasn't quite enough room for all of the biscuit dough (I had two left over). I cooked mine for about 15 mins, till the biscuits were just golden on top (they were still pretty doughy on the bottom, but I prefer them that way). Since there's only 2 of us in the house, I have plenty of leftovers for lunch- I'm sure it's just as good the 2nd go-round. Thank you for this tasty recipe.<br/><br/>**update** This recipe has become one of our favorites, and we've made it several times since. My husband even made it for a company food day, and it was gone in a matter of minutes. We both love it so much we fight over the leftovers. Defintiely a keeper! -
I made this last night and it was teriffic!! I used italian sausage instead of ground beef and I also added green peppers. I omitted the mushrooms and olives, and this still was great!! It really did taste like pizza. My hubbie loved it, he even ate the leftovers for breakfast this morning. Thanks so much for posting. One question, the biscuits on the bottom never quite cook all the way through. Any ideas?? I leave it in for longer but then the tops sometimes get too "done?" Either way, I love this! -
Wow - what is not to love about this recipe? DELICIOUS! I used real pepperoni instead of turkey as it was what I had on hand, and regular mozzarella. Gooey and cheesy and I'm thinking about picking up the ingredients to make it again next time I go grocery shopping! Made for PRMR Tag Game! -
well this was a winner according to my DS who is a lover of pizza, the biscuits is a wonderful change from pizza dough, I did a few amount adjustments and used bulk Italian sausage in place of ground beef, thanks for sharing Brooke!

<br>I have been a member of Zaar for awhile now and found that I love it! I have tried so many recipes and many new foods that I never would have without Zaar.

<br>I work full-time at a university in Wisconsin, it allows me to travel a bit and see the rest of the state, I work with a lot a great people and am really happy in my job.

<br>When I'm not working, I spend time with my hubby and 12 year old son. My son has picked up my love for cooking, a few of the things he makes are - naan bread, cookies, and quick breads, I'm so proud of him! In our family we also have two cocker spaniels, our puppy Laci (above) and Peanut, that we adore like they were our children.

<br>We live in an old farm house that we are remodeling (did the library and the kitchen so far....) on the outskirts of town. Close enough where my hubby can bike to work in the summer, but far enough away from campus that we don't have to lock down our lawn ornaments in fear of college pranks!
