Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup + 1 tbsp chopped pepperoni divided
  • 1 cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Italian Cheese Blend
  • 1 16-16.3oz can jumbo southern homestyle buttermilk biscuits
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese or Italian cheese blend for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Crumble and cook ground beef in a large skillet on medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain or blot of any excess grease. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, ½ cup of the pepperoni, marinara or pizza sauce and the Italian cheese blend. Stir then simmer 2 minutes.
  • Butter or spray with nonstick spray a 12-cup muffin pan. Split 6 of the biscuits horizontally by gently peeling them apart at the middle layer. Using a tamper tool, press one of the biscuit halves in each of the muffin tins so that it covers the bottom at up the sides. Alternatively, flatten the biscuit halves with your fingers on a flat surface so that they become 4 inches in diameter, and then press into the muffin tins.
  • Fill each muffin tin with 3-4 tablespoons of the prepared pizza filling. Top with mozzarella cheese or additional Italian cheese blend and pepperoni.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and edges of biscuits are golden brown.
  • Gently run a knife around the edge of each biscuit to loosen, then transfer to a serving tray. Optional, serve with additional marinara or pizza sauce.
