Deep Dish Pizza Muffins for the Windy City

Recently I went on an amazing trip to Chicago with family and friends.  I have been to Chicago a few times before but had yet to try the city's famous deep dish.  We come from very different style of pizza but I have to admit, it was delicious. After returning home I wanted to make deep dish style pizza muffins.  I read into the best type of dough to use for this muffin and eventually decided on a recipe that used sliced refrigerated biscuits.  I kept it simple with pepperoni and cheese but you can use any topping you like. Enjoy these for dinner or as a party appetizer! 

Ingredients:

§  Cooking spray for muffin tin

§  1 can refrigerated refrigerated biscuits

§  1 cup tomato sauce

§  1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

§  ½ cup pepperoni chopped

§  Any additional toppings

1. Pre-heat oven to 400° 

2. Cut each biscuit into 3 equal disks. Press them into the muffin tin, making sure the dough goes up the sides of the cup. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown

3. Remove muffin tin and fill each with approximately 1 tablespoon of sauce (too much will turn the muffin soggy), pepperoni, and top with cheese.  Place in oven for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted and light brown

Note: If using vegetables or other meat (ex. sausage), cook on stove top prior to layering in muffin cup
