Bubble Up Pizza Recipe

Bubble Up Pizza RecipeBubble Up Pizza is one of the kids’ favorite lunches. I love it too because it’s quick and easy and I know the kids will eat it. It’s also a great way to use up leftovers!

 

Bubble Up Pizza Recipe Ingredients

Bubble Up Pizza doesn’t require many ingredients and won’t dirty many dishes – another reason I love it! The recipe is very versatile; I vary the amounts and the ingredients depending on how many children I have to feeding and what foods are on hand.

  • Refrigerator biscuits
  • Jarred pizza or spaghetti sauce
  • Mozzerella cheese
  • Your favorite pizza toppings

 

Bubble Up Pizza Recipe Instructions

1. Grease
First, grease the bottom of your pan with butter or shortening so your bubble up pizza won’t stick too much.

Or line it with parchment paper, but don’t use wax paper unless you want your food to taste like crayons. Foil won’t work either because the pizza will just stick to the foil instead of the pan, and I don’t see any advantage to that.

The number of biscuits you’re using will determine what size pan you need. Generally I’ve found that a 9×13″ pan works well for two cans of regular-sized biscuits. For one can of biscuits I recommend an 8×8″ pan; I tried a loaf pan once and the biscuits took forever and a day to get done in the center.

 

2. Cut
Next, cut each biscuit into fourths.

You’ll have them wash their hands really well first, right?

 

Bubble Up Pizza Recipe - E Cuts BiscuitsWhen I gave E the knife he held up his hand and said “My mom doesn’t let me use knives!” Sooooo cute! I reassured him that his mom wouldn’t mind if he used a plastic knife, and he dove right in.

3. Mix
Pour some of your spaghetti sauce into a bowl and add the cut up biscuits. I like to start out with less sauce and add more if the biscuits look dry.

4.Stir
Gently fold the biscuits into the sauce, adding more sauce as necessary. We used plain sauce this time but sometimes I brown sausage or hamburger and mix it into the sauce. If you add meat you’ll need more sauce because the meat soaks it up.

5. Spread
Spread the mixture evenly into the greased pan.

6. Top
Top the biscuit and sauce mixture with your favorite pizza toppings and mozzarella cheese.

  1. This looks so yummy. I definitely plan on trying soon. I usually make homemade biscuits because I am trying to cut the salt qty and increase interesting flours in our household, but I bet it would work with them too.
    Thanks! ~Jessica

    • Jessica,

      I’ll bet it would work great with homemade biscuits, or bread dough, or even frozen bread dough if you don’t have time to whip up fresh.

      Let me know how it works out when you try it!

  2. Thanks for the tip on the wheat buscuits. That definitely makes it better. Cannot wait to try this. Have tried the recipe with cinnamon and sugar but not as pizza.

  3. I love your recipe, always I am learning for your blog, this pizza bubble up is ideal for my kid 🙂
