Big Biscuit Pizza

My kids like to help make this free-form, kitchen-sink kind of casserole. It's easy to swap out ingredients—so use whatever happens to be in your fridge. Bakes up big and bubbly. (from allrecipes.com)

1 lb ground beef or turkey

4 oz sliced pepperoni (optional)

14 oz jar pizza sauce or spaghetti sauce

2 packages refrigerated buttermilk biscuit dough (12 oz each)

1/2 onion, sliced thinly into rings

big handful of sliced black olives

big handful of sliced mushrooms 

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cook ground beef/turkey over medium heat until browned. Drain, and stir in pepperoni and pizza sauce. Set aside. 

Cut biscuits into quarters and place into the bottom of a greased 9x13 dish (just throw them in there—a good task for the kids). Spread the meat/sauce mixture over evenly, then sprinkle with the onion, olives and mushrooms.

Bake for 20 minutes, then cover the top with cheese and bake for another 10 minutes or until it looks about done. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. 

*A good one for Friday nights at home—there should be leftovers for Saturday lunch. You could assemble it an hour or two before putting it in the oven.
