Pizza Cupcakes

I found the inspiration for this recipe on Mandy's Recipe Box Blog.  I’m posting the recipe as Mandy wrote it.  But, this is one of those recipes that you can make your own by choosing whatever pizza toppings you like.  I used pepperoni, cheese and a little bit of onion.  And I scattered some green onion tops over them after they came out of the oven. Also, if you don’t have pizza sauce – you can substitute your favorite pasta sauce in the jar.  I like Classico Tomato & Basil – or Trader Joe’s Marinara Sauce.

Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated Pillsbury Seamless Dough Sheets

½ cup pizza sauce

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ tsp garlic powder

pizza toppings of your choice - pepperoni, ham, sausage, peppers, onions, mushrooms, pineapple, peppers etc.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Spray or grease a muffin pan and set aside.

Unroll dough sheet and cut into 8 equal squares. Press into muffin cups.

Sprinkle some cheese into each dough cup. Add 1 Tbsp. pizza sauce followed by remaining cheese and the toppings of your choice. Sprinkle garlic powder over toppings.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Carefully remove from pan.  Using a fork helps with this.

Serve.
