{  Pizza Poppers }


This was one of those “throw together meals with what I have on hand, because I’m tired from a long day at work , BigBear is hungry and I promised him dinner” kind of meals. Yes I am aware that it is a long title… at least I was kind enough to shorten it to ”
Pizza Poppers” for this post. 😉
Some days when I get home from work, I’ve been bitten by the kitchen bug and all I want to do is spend my evening in front of the stove or mixer, creating amazing food and desserts. But then there are days where I don’t even want to look in the general direction of the kitchen. Gasp. I know. It’s painful, but true. 
My husband’s love for pizza works to my advantage most of the time. If I’m in the “I don’t want to cook” mode, I can say, “We’re having Pizza for Dinner” and everything is golden in the Barrett household. 

But since I didn’t have his favorite Frozen Pizza in the deep freezer, I raided the pantry and fridge for “Pizza Ingredients” and this is what became of it. I just kind of put it together as I went along. I suppose it is what would happen if a Mini Pizza Bite and a Muffin had a love child. It worked, he loved them and that’s all that matters.

Pizza Poppers
by Angie Barrett April-17-2012
**The mushrooms and pepperonis are optional, and can be 
replace with your favorite pizza toppings**
Ingredients
  • 6 large refrigerated biscuits ( I use the kind with the bits of butter in the dough)
  • 6 tablespoons pizza or pasta sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 18 pepperoni
  • Cooking Spray
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350F. 
Slice each uncooked biscuit horizontally through the middle. This will give you a top and bottom for each 
Pizza Popper. 
Spray a muffin tin with the cooking spray. 
Place 1 biscuit half into each muffin tin. 
Start layering the Pizza Poppers. 
To each bottom biscuit dough add, 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, 3 pepperonis, a few pieces of mushroom, and cheese.

Top with another biscuit half. 
After all of the poppers have been filled and topped with a biscuit, bake at 350F for 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden.
