Take-out Tuesday, Meaty Marinara Bubble Up
.
Whether your kids are starting back to school in person or virtually,
it is important that we get back on regular schedules
One of my grandsons is only attending school 2 days a week,
but the other days he has to check in by 8:00
to begin his school day from home
.
.
Today’s recipe is a perfect one for busy days,
It is a fabulous 4 ~
4 ingredients,
fast prep,
family friendly
fills hungry bellies!
.
.
Only 4 ingredients plus seasoning!
.
.
All you have to do is brown the meat,
add it to the sauce, simmer, add biscuits and bake!
.
.
I used a combination of ground chuck and breakfast sausage
.
.
Drain browned meat and return to sauce pan
Add marinara sauce and seasonings
.
.
Cover and simmer on very low heat for several hours to build flavor
Do this ahead of time and refrigerate sauce until needed if desired
Tranfer sauce into a 9″ x 13″ shallow baking dish
Bring to room temperature if cold
.
.
Quarter biscuits
.
.
Place biscuit pieces on top of sauce, spacing evenly
Gently press dough down into sauce
.
.
Sprinkle with Parmesan
.
.
Now, this is where the magic happens…
Bake at 350 for about 20 minutes
.
.
The biscuits rise up and turn golden,
the sauce gets hot and bubbly,
the cheese melts …
.
.
And dinner is ready!
Serve it in a bowl with a fork and/or spoon
.
.
Dig in!

Looks delicious and so easy too Jenna! Love your MKC Fergal the frog and frog students! ♥
thank you Mary, I am trying hard not to buy a Fergal, I think he’s so cute!
Nice and easy:@) I wish ~life~ would get back to normal routines…
no kidding, but it’s amazing how the kids are adapting…thanks Lynn!
How easy is this! On my trip to the grocery I will be getting some biscuits so this can be on the table with salad tonight.
Oh good, thanks Linda! Not gourmet but very tasty!!
Jenna, love your Fergal Frog, handsome fellow! I love one one dish meals and this one sounds delicious. I’ll keep this for a busy fall day of working outside…………
I really want to buy a Fergal, but sometimes just drawing one satisfies my MKC craving 😂 Have you ever made a bubble up, they’re so easy and so good, thanks Emily!
This is a great idea! School starts in Hoover on Thursday, I think. It will be so strange to see and hear the school buses again. I don’t think I will be able to handle little kids wearing masks, though. I hope they don’t make the children wear them.
I love to make bubble ups, they’re so easy and so good! my grands have to wear them at their schools…
This looks like a fun take on pasta without the pasta. Sounds very good and easy!
Jenna, I am going to share this recipe with my daughter-in-love….we all would love this! I love’s Rao’s, I think they are the best bottled sauces that I have found! Happy Tuesday!
Wow Jenna, what a great dish and just a few ingredients. Rao’s sauce is divine. Love your frogs…LOL
Just pinned this great recipe! Will be sharing with my three daughters. Love it that it’s just a few ingredients but yet looks very filling. Thanks again Jenna for another great recipe. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
This sounds absolute great to me – sort of like a sloppy pizza bread. I even thought since it’s kid-approved that Mr P would like it! I’ll have to try it and see. Your artistry is adorable. I saw your comment on satisfying your urge to buy him…..lol, until maybe he goes on sale?
This is such an easy meal to throw together, and I think Mr. P would like it! My son, the foodie chef, wasn’t too impressed, but his boys each had seconds! Yes maybe Fergal will go on sale this winter!
Sounds delicious and easy. I hope your grandchildren have positive experiences this school year!
Perfect for a busy day! Love the frog and frog students!
Prayers for ALL who return back to school… what crazy times!
Thank you Nancy!
Thanks Nancy, and yes, I’m praying schools don’t close again…
I love quick and easy meals like this! Pinned.
Thanks Joanne, yep, quick, easy and it will make everybody happy!
I really wanted to subscribe to your blog by email. But it says you have opted out of subscription e-mails! What? Help!!
hi Carolyn, I’ve been in touch with WordPress, my site server, and they said it’s due to settings on your WordPress.com account associated with that email address. You have opted out of emails from all WordPress.com sites, not just mine in particular.
So you would need to re-enable that in your WordPress.com account, they said you can reach out to wordpress for help with that if needed.
Sorry for the inconvenience, I would love to have you follow along! Thank so much!
I am going crazy over your Fergal Frog and Students, so special! Your Meaty Marinara-Bubble Up will be perfect for one of those school night family meal. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us at Full Plate Thursday and please come back soon!

Thanks Miz Helen, I really want to buy Fergal from MacKenzie-Childs, but drawing him was almost as good as buying 😂
This looks like is filling and delicious and would be a real kid pleaser!
Thanks Donna, a great way to get dinner on the table fast!
Oh yummy, Jenna, and so easy! I’m going to share this with my daughter, too, as I think her family would love this.
It’s embarrassingly easy, but it was gobbled up, thanks Kitty!
Congratulations! Your awesome post is featured on our Top Ten at Full Plate Thursday, 499! Thanks so much for sharing with us and hope you come back soon!
