More About This Recipe
- Now that the holidays are over, the last thing anyone wants to think about is cooking. I love the holidays, but the two most dreaded words that my family utters after the Thanksgiving cooking marathon are, "I'm hungry." So, I'm always on the look out for a quick food fix for starving bellies. Pillsbury™ Classic Crust Pizza Crust saves the day every time, and these Pizza Cupcakes are a "total win" snack that you can throw together in four easy steps!
- Pizza cupcakes are amazing, but we've got even more pizza recipes for anyone who just can't get enough pizza in their life.
Pizza Cupcakes
- Prep Time 5 min
- Total 15 min
- Servings 6
- Ingredients 5
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Classic Crust Pizza Crust
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or chopped tomatoes
- 1 (8 oz) pkg mozzarella cheese
- Pepperoni (optional)
- Sausage (optional)
Instructions
-
Step1Pre-heat your oven to 400°F. Roll out your Pillsbury™ Classic Crust Pizza Crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 6 rounds using a large, round cookie cutter.
-
Step2Lightly spray your muffin tin with cooking spray. If you're using a 6 muffin tin, fill each with one round. If you're using a 12 muffin tin be sure to fill every other tin to make space between cupcakes since the tins are closer together.
-
Step3Fill each cup with one tablespoon of pizza sauce or chopped tomatoes and a layer of mozzarella cheese. Then add any other pizza topping faves (a slice of pepperoni, a tablespoon of cooked sausage, chopped green peppers, etc.) and one final layer of sauce/tomatoes and cheese.
-
Step4Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool and serve!
