Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and diced onion. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the beef develops some crust and no visible liquid remains. Drain excess grease if needed, but leave a little for flavor.
Stir in Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens and clings to the beef. Ensure it is not soupy. Turn off the heat.
Scatter pepperoni evenly over the beef mixture. Top with Monterey Jack, cheddar, and Parmesan cheese. Optionally, sprinkle a little cheddar around the skillet edges for a crispy cheese halo.
Prepare the Cheddar Bay Biscuit Mix according to the box instructions. Spoon the dough in dollops across the top of the cheese layer. Do not smooth it flat; leave some cheese peeking through.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375–400°F for 15–18 minutes until the biscuits are golden and cooked through.
Brush the garlic butter packet over the biscuit tops. Optionally, finish with extra Parmesan, red pepper flakes, or fresh basil.
