When I was a kid my mom always found creative ways to make a cheap meal. There were 7 mouths to feed (including my parents), and a little money had to go a long way. One of the things she would do is have us make our own biscuit pizzas for fun. We would get to pick whatever toppings were available, from breakfast sausage, to pepperoni, to olives and mushrooms, and whatever else we had on hand. I told my wife about this idea, and she kicked it up a few notches. The recipe follows:
- Pillsbury Biscuits
- Trader Joe's Marinara Sauce
- Mozzarella Cheese
- (optional)Spicy Italian Sausage
- (optional)Pepperoni
- (optional)Fresh Basil
- (optional)Any other favorite topping
The quantities needed depends on the amount you are serving. These pizzas are as big as biscuits, so a little goes a long way.
Cook the sausage, sautee any onions or other vegetables as needed.
Take the biscuits out of the can, and spread thin like a pizza crust. Add the marinara sauce. Add toppings and cheese liberally.
Bake in oven or toaster oven until biscuits are golden/cheese is melted.
Add grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper to taste and you are good to go.
This meal is really cheap and tastes great. Enjoy.

Looks tasty! We'll make our own little pizzas sometimes on pita bread or even tortillas sometimes, but we'll have to try the biscuit dough :)
Sounds yummy!
That's a really great idea!!! My kids would love those for lunches and they could make their own. Thanks for sharing.
Looks yummy. I've made pizzas for our family using the biscuit dough as well. It's a lot easier for each to have it their own way as well.
My kids are now old enough to enjoy this, thanks for the idea!
I actually use a rolling pin to roll the dough out..... :) You forgot that one detail honey..... heh heh
