aThis pizza cobbler is a true “dump and bake” recipe that tastes exactly like your favorite pizza but is made quickly in your oven in a baking dish.

Pizza cobbler is a delicious and creative twist on traditional pizza.  I got the idea for this recipe after I made this chicken cobbler recipe.  I love this because it is a true “dump and bake” recipe that your whole family will enjoy!   One character flaw we have in the Midwest is turning anything and everything into a casserole. This one turned out too delicious not to share!

My local Aldi started selling premade pizza dough, which I used in this recipe.  I know they also sell pizza dough at Trader Joe’s.  You can also make your own pizza dough or buy a mix to make your own pizza dough for this recipe.   Canned croissant rolls or biscuits will also work, but it will taste less like authentic pizza.

Ingredients:

1 cup pizza sauce

two cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Your favorite pizza toppings (pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, olives, etc.)

Store-bought Pizza dough- you can make it from a mix, or you can also make it homemade.

two tablespoons of olive oil 

One tablespoon of minced garlic 

One teaspoon of Italian seasoning 

Equipment

baking dish 

cooking spray 

spatula 

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
2. Spread the pizza sauce in a greased baking dish.
3. Add your favorite pizza toppings,  and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

4. Break apart your pizza dough into 2-inch balls and evenly drop the pizza dough over the pizza toppings.

5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

7. Serve the pizza cobbler warm.

Storage:

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.  Reheat in the microwave
