Easy dinners are the theme most nights around here, but when it’s Sunday football and you just got new TV, there is nothing better than a simple recipe for a game day dinner. So, that is exactly what I came up with…
When we re craving pizza, we love this homemade version topped with pepperoni and all the ooey gooey cheese you can imagine. For us that is fun and dippable!
So we came home from Disneyland to a blown out TV. Mind you we bought it in 2006 so it really wasn’t that big a surprise. LOL. We have been eyeing this crazy awesome TV at Costco for over a year. Well, when that TV blew out we knew exactly what we wanted.
So, after we set up the TV Chad declared that a football game would look amazing on the screen and he was right. So, while Chad and Munchkin were watching the game together I decided to whip up a non-traditional pizza for dinner.

Pepperoni Pizza Skillet Dip
Ingredients
- 1 pound hot Italian sausage, removed from casings
- 2 cups pizza sauce, (I used 5 Minute Marinara)
- 2 cups fresh shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup pepperoni slices
- 20 biscuits, cut into 1/4's (regular size biscuits), 10 count biscuits cans, cut into 1/4's (regular size biscuits)
- 2 tablespoons STAR garlic flavored olive oil
- 4 ounces fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
- optional fresh cut parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Brown sausage in a 10″ cast iron skillet over medium-high skillet.
- Meanwhile: in a large bowl, combine cut biscuits, olive oil, Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese. Toss with your hands until the biscuits are well coated with all ingredients. (Don’t worry if you have left over Parmesan cheese, we will sprinkle that on top later).
- Drain any remaining sausage drippings from the pan. Add pizza sauce and stir until combined. Use spoon to even out the sauce.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top, until all the sauce is covered. Place pepperoni in a ring around the outside edge of the pan (You are making a base for the biscuits to sit on). Add remaining pepperoni to the center of the pan.
- Place biscuits in a ring against the side of the pan (on top of the pepperoni slices). Sprinkle any remaining Parmesan cheese from the biscuits over the top of the biscuits. Cover with foil and cook 10-12 minutes or until biscuits are cooked through. If the top is not golden brown, remove foil and place under the boiler 1-2 minutes, or until they biscuits are golden brown and the mozzarella cheese
- is bubbly.
- Allow to cool briefly. Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serve and enjoy!

What would you dip this with? Crackers, chips?
That’s what the biscuits are for.
