Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink and onions are soft. Drain any excess fat from the pan.
03 -
Add pizza sauce, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and pepper to the meat mixture. Stir well to combine everything.
04 -
Gently fold the quartered biscuit dough pieces into the sauce mixture until they're evenly coated.

Spread half the biscuit and meat mixture in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with half the mozzarella, cheddar, and pepperoni. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the biscuits have puffed up, turned golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before cutting. This helps it set up for easier serving.
