Mufffin Pan Pizzas!!

Perfect mini deep dish pizzas. Who knew?! All these years, I have been using my muffin pan for, well... muffins. Well, not anymore! All this week I have been making Pinterest inspired dinners, and if you haven't noticed, I am loving these muffin pan, individual serving dishes. Not only are they quick and easy, but clean up is a snap and they are so fun to serve. Leftovers? Perfect! Grab 1 or 2, heat them in the microwave, and you have a fast and delicious lunch, dinner or snack.
Planning a Super Bowl party? How great would these be? You can make all different styles to suit many tastes, and kids and adults would love them.

Ingredient List:

1 package pizza crust (any kind will work, or use biscuits)
pizza sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese
your choice of toppings

Grease your muffin pan very well. Press a small amount of dough into each cup. Make sure to work it up the sides, but try not to go over the top of the cup, or it may burn. I opted to brush each one with melted butter and sprinkled parmesan cheese & italian seasonings on top, but that is up to you. Drop a spoonful of sauce into each cup, top generously with your mozzarella cheese, then add your toppings. I made pepperoni & hawaiian style. For the hawaiian, I sliced up lunch meat syle ham and added crushed & drained pinapple. The best part about these is that there is no wrong way. If you are making them for a party, make several different styles. Or let guests pick their own toppings before you bake. It's up to you.
Once you have your toppings on, bake according to your pizza crust directions. Once done, they should pop right out of the pan and be ready to serve. Yum!

***Do you have kids? Make several of these ahead of time & freeze them in individual portions. When kids want a snack after school, all they have to do is grab a couple & heat them up. No one will want pizza rolls again after they've had these tasty treats.
