Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take the biscuits out of the can and separate them on your countertop. Using a rolling pin, gently roll each biscuit until it’s about twice as big. Sprinkle a little garlic salt over each one, then lay two slices of pepperoni on top. Pile on a good amount of mozzarella cheese, but hold back about two tablespoons for later. Fold the edges of the dough up and pinch them together to seal in all the tasty fillings. Place the stuffed biscuits on a baking sheet, then sprinkle the reserved cheese over the tops. Pop them in the oven and bake until the cheese is melted and the biscuits turn a nice golden brown, which should take around 12 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm with extra marinara or ranch dressing for dipping. They pair well with a fresh salad or a side of roasted vegetables to balance the richness.
How To Store For Later
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to keep the outside crispy instead of using a microwave.
