Ingredients

  • 6 biscuits (1 can of biscuit dough)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 green bell pepper diced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp oregano flakes
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven according to the biscuit can instructions. Bake biscuits according to package instructions.

  2. While the biscuits are baking, prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add ground beef, onions, bell pepper, and garlic. Break beef up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned. Stir in Italian seasoning, oregano, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir in ketchup and parmesan cheese. Heat through over medium. Reduce heat to low, or cover and remove from heat until biscuits are done.

  3. Slice baked biscuits in half horizontally, and place back on baking sheet pan. Scoop beef mixture evenly onto each half biscuit. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Place in oven under the broil setting until cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with a sprinkle of oregano or parsley.

Recipe Notes

Growing up we would use hamburger buns as our bread vessel, they also work great.

I've used frozen biscuit dough as well (pictured in blog post). They are a bit smaller than the canned dough, and make for a great appetizer size.

Leftovers heat up surprisingly well...and if you're like me and love cold pizza, they're good cold too!
