Ingredients
- 1 can (16.3 oz) Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.5 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, salt, and black pepper. Cook and crumble the beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3
Stir marinara sauce, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning into the cooked beef. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Open the can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly using your hands or a rolling pin.
Step 5
Press each flattened biscuit dough round into a muffin tin cup, forming a small bowl shape. Make sure the dough comes up the sides of each cup.
Step 6
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the meat and marinara mixture into each dough cup.
Step 7
Top each cup with shredded mozzarella cheese, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, and a few slices of pepperoni. Adjust toppings as desired.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the pizza cups from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes in the pan before carefully removing them using a butter knife or small spatula.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
