Description

These Pizza Cups offer a fun, easy twist on classic comfort food, perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. The recipe combines lean ground beef with rich tomato paste, aromatic dried onions, and Italian herbs like basil and oregano to create a deeply flavorful filling. Wrapped in tender, buttery refrigerated biscuits, each cup delivers a satisfying balance of savory meat and soft dough. Topped with melted part-skim mozzarella, they bake until golden brown and bubbly. This dish is an excellent way to get a hot, hearty meal on the table in under 40 minutes without the fuss of making pizza dough from scratch. Kids and adults alike will love these portable, bite-sized treats that bring the taste of Italy to your dinner table with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  2. Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
  4. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
  5. Stir in the tomato paste, dried onions, basil, and oregano.
  6. Cook the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and flavors combine.
  7. Separate the refrigerated biscuits and press each one into a muffin cup, covering the bottom and sides to form a shell.
  8. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the beef mixture into each biscuit shell.
  9. Sprinkle shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese over the top of each cup.
  10. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
