• Recipe: Easy Mini Pizzas

    Easy mini pizzas

    When you need a quick lunch or dinner for the family this is an easy one.  I used English Muffins for the crust, pizza sauce, shredded cheese, and toppings (we used bacon crumbs, pepperoni, and black olives for this lunch).  Baked them in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melted and viola….mini pizzas.  These are easy enough for the kids to make themselves now too!  It isn’t a meal we make a lot in our house but in a quick pinch it is easy and one everyone enjoys.

  • Recipe: Pizza Cups

    Pizza Cup

    Our family enjoys pizza cups.  This main dish contains only 4 ingredients and easy to put together.  You can make them from scratch or if you have leftover spaghetti or lasagna meat sauce you can make these pretty quickly.  These are simple, fun, and delicious for the family to eat for dinner (plus you can use up some of your leftovers).  The girls like helping put these pizza cups together and taking them to school.

    Pizza Cups:

    • 1/2 pound lean Ground Beef
    • 1/2 (12 oz) jar Spaghetti Sauce
    • 1  (8 count) can Biscuits
    • 4 oz shredded Mozzarella Cheese
    • Pepperoni Slices (optional)

    Brown the ground beef in a pan, drain the excess oil.  Add the spaghetti sauce to the meat and heat until begins to boil then turn down to simmer.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Cut the biscuits in half, flatten them, and press them into a greased cupcake cups (16 count).  Use an ice cream scoop and put the meat mixture into the biscuit cup, sprinkle shredded cheese over it, and bake for 10 minutes (or until the cheese melts).
