Kid Friendly Pizza Muffin Recipe

On Sunday nights we love to kick back and watch a little football or a good movie on TV before we gear back up for the next week. Of course a football game or a movie calls for some quick and easy finger food to go along with it. One of my favorite quick and easy meals is this pizza muffin recipe. They’re a fun twist on an old classic and they’re sure to lead to a #CleanPlate at our house.

Ingredients

  

• 1 rolled refrigerated pizza crust
• 1 cup Contadina Pizza Sauce
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 18-24 pepperonis optional

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 400`F.
• Unroll the pizza crust and cut into 3 inch squares. One pizza crust should make about 18 squares.
• Stretch each square a little and put it into a muffin cup sprayed with no stick cooking spray. The squares should come up the sides of the cup, and may drape over the edge a little on the corners.
• Once you have put each square into a muffin cup bake the pizza crust for about 5 minutes at 400`F.
• Once the crust has baked, add a teaspoon of Contadina Pizza Sauce to the center of each muffin.
• If you want to add other toppings, like pepperoni add them on top of the sauce.
• Top the pizza muffins with a mixture of the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for another 6 to 8 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
