Winter has finally come upon us... and it has come with a vengeance! We have had frigid temperatures for several weeks now and we are expecting snow... a lot of snow... 2 feet of snow to be exact!
I have been running around to all the grocery stores in town getting all our cupboards stocked so we can comfortably get snowbound for a few days until we dig our way out. My back is already hurting from all that shoveling I know I will end up doing. Urgh!
Well, I have to say our first snow day was a big success. The kids had fun making their own pizza biscuit cups. I made the filling and they had a great time getting the store bought biscuits in a tube to fit the muffin pans. It was a nice way to keep them occupied doing something constructive instead focusing on the TV and their video games. Now if I can just get them to do some school work while they are home on their snow day... yes I know... "Forget about it Mom!"
Recipe by Ramona from Kitchen Simmer
Ingredients:

2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
1 pound lean ground meat (beef, chicken etc..)
8oz button mushrooms finely chopped
1 green bell pepper finely diced
1 onion finely diced
20-30 slices pepperoni chopped
red chili flakes to taste
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp granulated garlic powder
salt and black pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups jarred pasta/marinara sauce
Directions:
Brown ground meat well with salt and black pepper. Then add the bell pepper, onion, and mushroom until slightly tender. Next add the red chili flakes, garlic powder, basil, and oregano and saute for a minute. Finally add the


To make the biscuit pizzas, take biscuits and separate in the middle to form two flatter biscuits. The biscuits are flaky and layered so this is easily done by simply pulling them apart. Stretch the biscuit and gently mold it inside each muffin hole. Now put some pizza filling inside each cup and top with shredded cheese. You can also add a few more chopped pieces of pepperoni on top of you like. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until biscuits are fully baked and the cheese is melted. Should make 16 cups.

ReplyDeleteAny snow day would be a big success with these pizza cups! They sound delicious and not to mention, look adorable! Stay warm and safe!
ReplyDeleteYum! I think my kids would love this (as would I)! We have 6-12 inches of snow arriving any minute now, otherwise I would be headed to the store for ingredients! Maybe next week.
ReplyDeleteMy kids would not be able to resist these fun little pizza cups either!!!
ReplyDeleteTwo feet? That is a lot of snow Ramona. Time to call in a snowblower i'm thinking. That or the National Guard. (!) Glad the kids had a great first snow day. I remember that excitement of missing school. Nothing like it. These little pizza cups are the bomb. Fun, kid-sized snack. We'll have to try these at our house soon!
