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 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!
Step 1
Roll out your Pillsbury pizza crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 6 rounds using a large, round cookie cutter (my stemless martini glass worked like a charm!).
Step 2
Lightly 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.
Step 3
Fill 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…you get the drift) and one final layer of sauce/tomatoes and cheese.
Step 4
Bake in a pre-heated oven (400 degrees) for about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool and serve!
