Pizza Cups!

WHAT YOU NEED:

1 lb ground beef (though i prefer ground turkey)

1 can of biscuits (10-count, just plain biscuits, not the flaky ones or the grands)

1 can of tomato paste (12 oz)

1/4 cup chopped onion

kosher salt

garlic powder

italian seasoning

OPTIONAL:

chopped green bell pepper, mushrooms, olives, banana peppers, pepperonis, or anything else you'd have on your pizza.

WHAT TO DO:

in a large skillet, brown your ground beef. throw in the onions and let them cook through with the meat. drain and put back in the skillet. add the tomato paste and liberal amounts of salt, garlic and italian seasoning. again, this is one of those things that i never measure, but you can taste it as you go to decide what you need to add. i personally like lots of garlic. also add in any extra veggies or things that you wanted. let that sit on low, stirring frequently, for about five minutes.

meanwhile, take your biscuits and press out each biscuit, trying to get it flat and big. line a muffin pan with the biscuits, pressing them against the bottom and sides.

preheat your oven to 400 degrees. take the meat filling and spoon it into each biscuit cup, filling it just up over the top. cover each "pizza cup" with mozzarella cheese and pop it into the oven. let it bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden-brown.

i like to serve mine with ranch dressing and a cold beer (mmm, summer shandy)!

enjoy!
