Pizza Monkey Bread (and a discovery of Pillsbury Blueberry Biscuits)

I recently went to the grocery store to get a few things to make a Pizza Monkey Bread, which I'll get to that in a moment. What I want to talk about now, is the new Blueberry Biscuits by Pillsbury.  LEt me tell you this, if you love blueberry muffins, you will absolutely ENJOY these.
(Found this picture using Google.)
Onward!

I made them using the Grands Homestyle Original.  You can use the Buttermilk of Butter Flavored if you wish.  It really shouldn't make much of a difference.

Ingredients
2 cans Grands Biscuits (or other brand)
2 cups finely chopped stuffers (green pepper, pepperoni, onions, anything you wish to put in)
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tbs Italian seasoning
1 cup marinara sauce

Grease a bundt pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic salt and Italian seasonings until combined. Set aside.
Remove biscuits from the cans. Take a raw biscuit, and cut a slit in the side. Use your fingers (or carefully use a knife) to open up the biscuit to form a “pocket” for the toppings.
Carefully tuck a pinch of cheese into the pocket of the biscuit, then add in a teaspoon or so or marinara sauce, then add in some pinches of your pizza toppings, top with a final pinch of cheese, then use your fingers to pinch together the dough to seal in the pocket. Be sure that it is well-sealed.
Dunk the pocket in the butter mixture on both sides, then place in the bundt pan with the seam side up.
Repeat with remaining biscuits until they are all filled and placed in the bundt pan side by side.
Pour any remaining butter mixture over the top of the biscuits in the bundt pan, then bake for 30 minutes until the dough is cooked and lightly browned (follow the temperature on the biscuit can). Remove and let sit for 5 minutes.
Carefully turn the bundt pan on top of a plate and give it a slight jiggle to release the monkey bread. Then remove the pan and serve the monkey bread with a side of extra marinara sauce for dipping.
