This SUPER Easy Pizza Casserole only uses a few ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. It’s a totally adaptable, quick and easy weeknight meal!
I don’t know about you but sometimes dinner planning is just TOO much.
I seem to have dessert ideas for days, but dinner, I get stumped. Not because I don’t have the resources. I mean there is this whole website called PINTEREST that is basically YELLING at you to make all the food. AND I have a whole board designated to “Dinner Ideas“. So yeah, I have all the tools. Yet, sometimes I sit here scratching my big fat head.
Anyhow, when I have no idea what to feed my family unit, I always revert back to pizza. It’s basically a completely balanced dinner all in a slice. So, win. And coming up with new and different ideas to eat pizza is pretty much a full time job. Remember these Pizza Sticks?
Well, now we’re taking the basic pizza ingredients and turning it into a casserole. Because it really just makes sense. And this recipe couldn’t be easier. You most likely have everything on hand right now to make! PLUS it’s infinitely adaptable to your own topping preferences.
So yep yep…Easy Pizza Casserole. Get it.
I happened to have some Bisquick leftover in my pantry from when I made these Bisquick Chocolate Chip Cookies. I mixed that with a little seasoning stuff…
Added some water, which formed a simple dough.
I got some pizza sauce, grated cheese and pepperoni ready.
And began layering. Half the dough, half the sauce, half the pepperoni and half the cheese…
Then repeat the whole thing again..dough, sauce, pepperoni and cheese…
Bake it up as simple as that and it will look like this…
Gorgeous as a pizza can be!
Cut it into squares…
And EAT!
I’ve just solved your dinner dilemma!

- 3 1/3 cups Bisquick
- 1 cup water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning

- Preheat oven to 375°F
- Spray a 9×13 baking dish lightly with cooking spray, set aside.

We used ground beef and ground pork cooked (instead of pepperoni) plus canned mushrooms and black olives. Make sure you get the dough mixture mixed up where there is no flour you can see, that was my only mistake and I should have added a Tablespoon of water it suggested and mixed it with my hands and it would have been better. I googled a Gluten Free Bisquick recipe and used it and it was good. Excited to make it again.
