Pizza Muffins Are An Easy Weeknight Dinner Recipe the Whole Family Will Love!
Pizza Muffins are so super simple! I am always on the hunt for new weeknight dinner ideas to keep things interesting. I can’t say that have a house full of picky eaters, but of course everyone has their favorites…and pizza seems to be at the top of everyone’s list. Ordering pizza out, or making your own homemade pizza is fine, but when you want to mix it up a little bit, these Pizza Muffins are a fun alternative. Plus, they make a great lunch too!
Start With A Shortcut…
While you can definitely go the extra mile and make your own pizza dough, the beauty of this recipe is that you can tale a major shortcut and use canned biscuits! Not only are they a quick option, they are already round, so you can press them out flat with your fingers, or certainly use a rolling pin, but either way half the work is done for you! Just press them flat and place them in a greased muffin tin. Another way to add a layer of flavor to this recipe is to add a little garlic butter. It’s a simple step that packs a punch! Just melting garlic with butter infuses it nicely. Once you have it made, you simply brush the garlic butter onto the dough… Meanwhile make a quick meat sauce. I just used ground beef, cooked with some diced onion, and garlic. I stirred in some pizza sauce and then chopped up some pepperoni and mixed that in too!
How To Customize…
If pepperoni isn’t your thing, here are a few other options:
Cooked ground sausage Cooked Ground Beef Diced Canadian Bacon Sauteed Veggies Olives
Just spoon your sauce mixture into the dough cups and add some cheese! Bake them for about 20 minutes and they will look like this… You can sprinkle some basil on top, like I did, or leave them plain. Then dig in! My family loves these…and I’ve made them lots of different ways! You can use ground sausage instead of the beef, you can add in mushrooms, olives… whatever kind of pizza you like will totally work!
