Description
A hybrid comfort food dish that combines the flavors of pizza and burgers using a refrigerated biscuit crust, seasoned ground beef, marinara sauce, and melted cheese, baked in a skillet for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef (80/20 blend)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup thick marinara or pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices (optional)
- 1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated large biscuit dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Let biscuit dough sit on the counter for 5 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break into crumbles. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Stir Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef. Remove from heat.
- Press the biscuit dough into an even layer at the bottom of an oven-safe skillet (or baking dish), ensuring no gaps.
- Spread the cooked burger mixture evenly over the biscuit crust.
- Spoon the marinara sauce over the meat, spreading it out but leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Add pepperoni slices on top if using.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden, and the crust is cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to allow cheese to set.
- Cut into 8 wedges and serve warm.
Notes
For best results, use thick marinara to prevent a soggy crust. Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure clean cuts. If the top isn’t browning, broil for the last 1-2 minutes. Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated, adding 5-10 minutes to baking time.
