Bubble Up Pizza Casserole

6 Servings @ 7.5 Points
8 Servings @ 5.5 Points

1 lb lean ground beef
1 onion, chopped
16 oz tomato sauce
1/2 tsp dried basil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Veggie Toppings (mushrooms, peppers, olives, any of your favorites – BE CREATIVE)
17 slices Turkey Pepperoni (optional)
15 oz. refrigerated buttermilk biscuits, uncooked, quartered
1.25 c FF or soy mozzarella, shredded

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In skillet, brown meat over medium heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in onion, tomato sauce, basil, garlic and Italian seasoning.

2. Add veggies (mushrooms, peppers, black olives, etc…whatever you like) and pepperoni. Add quartered biscuits; stir gently until biscuits are covered with sauce. Spoon mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake for 25 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, and bake an additional 10 minutes or until biscuits are done. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

I was grocery shopping last night and bought all of the ingredients for this. I didn't have the recipe with me (again) so I was going off of memory and I'm happy to report I didn't miss anything!

I plan to make it for Wednesday night's dinner. I bought 2% mozzarella (because we don't like the fat free) but I bought reduced fat biscuits to even it out...lol! I bought a package of "Grands" because that's all they had in the reduced fat and I'm wondering if I should use the whole package? I was picturing a container of regular biscuits for this recipe so had planned to use half of Grands (give or take). Now as I'm seeing the recipe I notice it calls for a 15 oz can of biscuits and the Grands are a 16.3 oz. can. Think I should use the whole thing? Maybe I'll keep two out and bake them to go with another meal...

Anyway I'm SOOOO in the mood for pizza and I'm really looking forward to Wednesday...
