Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
-
Lightly grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray or butter.
-
In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat from the pan and set aside.
-
Open the biscuit dough and separate into 10 individual biscuits.
-
On a lightly floured surface, press or roll each biscuit into a 5-inch circle. Create a slight rim around the edge by pressing the dough down gently.
-
Place the flattened dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
-
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each dough circle, spreading it almost to the edges. Sprinkle a pinch of crushed oregano over the sauce.
-
Divide the cooked ground beef evenly among the pizzas. Top with pepperoni slices and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Note
Storage: Store leftover mini pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF for about 10 minutes to crisp up the crust.
Variations: Try adding sliced mushrooms, green peppers, or onions for extra vegetables. For a non-beef option, substitute with cooked sausage, ham, or leave it vegetarian with just cheese and veggies.
Tip: If you don't have a rolling pin, a clean glass bottle works perfectly for flattening the biscuit dough.
Ingredient Note: Any brand of canned biscuit dough can be used; Hungry Jack is just a common brand reference. Ensure the dough is fully separated before rolling to avoid sticking.
