Open the package of Pillsbury Grand biscuits and use half the package (4 biscuits).

Cut the biscuits into eighths, similar to cutting pizza.

Add the cut biscuits to a bowl.

Add your choice of pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce, or marinara sauce to the bowl and coat the biscuits well.

Set the coated biscuits aside temporarily.

Grease a cast iron skillet lightly to prevent sticking.

Spread the biscuit pieces evenly in the greased cast iron skillet.

Add the desired number of meatballs to the skillet, adjusting based on their size.

Chop some green onions with scissors and sprinkle them over the meatballs.

Add parmesan cheese over the mixture.

Shred mozzarella cheese and add it on top as well.

Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top.

Place the skillet in the oven to bake.
