This pizza skillet bake is a great dish for a quick dinner, best made in a cast iron skillet. It tastes just like a pizza, and just like a pizza, it’s open to changes. Add some chopped pepperoni if you like. Or some fresh mozzarella. Yummy! Since the ‘crust’ is on top you don’t have to worry about your toppings keeping it from baking. It’s as easy as can be!
The biscuits on top of the pizza skillet bake fluff up all soft and creamy, just like a thick-crust pizza! This is a really fun twist on a traditional deep-dish pizza.
