Super Soy Personal Pizza Cups

What do you get when you combine 2 kid favorites????



Pizza + Cupcakes = Super Soy Personal Pizza Cups!!
(picture to come later *grin*)

I've found this to be a hit with kids and grownups alike :)

1 can (12 oz) refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits)
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup Super Soy Ground Beef
1 jar (14 oz) Pizza sauce [1/2 a jar of spaghetti sauce works too]
1/2 cup low fat shredded mozzarella cheese
garlic to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix super soy ground beef with boiling water, may add dash or two of garlic if you like. Set aside, Let soy reconstitute 3-5 minutes.

In 12 cup muffin pan, evenly press each biscuit in bottom and up side of each cup; set aside, you may place in frig to chill until ready to fill.

Now stir together reconstituted soy and sauce, heat through.

Evenly spoon "soy beef" mixture into prepared muffin cups. Bake 15 minutes.
Sprinkle with cheese and bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted and biscuits are golden. Let stand 5 minutes. Gently remove pizza cups from muffin pan and serve.

Makes 10 pizza cups.

Estimated Prep: 10 minutes Estimated Cook Time: 25 minutes

>>>I wanted to share this receipe as a tribute to my sister Julie, who shared the receipe with me, and Michael Brian who thinks ANY party is complete with pizza & cupcakes :)

SUGGESTION #1: If you like more "stuff" on your pizza, reduce the amount of super-soy ground beef and add some veggies like mushrooms, onions, green peppers, etc. Let your imagination RUN WILD!

SUGGESTION #2: This can be a great way to use up left over spaghetti sauce, OR when preparing spaghetti for dinner one night go ahead and fix extra "soy-meat" sauce and use the day after for this receipe.

SUGGESTION #3: Let the kids JOIN IN! Older children could participate in pressing biscuits into muffin pan. yourger children could be allowed to scoop sauce (give them a specific size scoop like 1/8 cup) or let them pinch and sprinkle the cheese.

SUGGESTION #4: Serve with carrot or cucumber chips ( ripple cut slices)
[I got my ripple cutting tool from Pampered Chef: Kim Mays 270-737-9615 email: kim@mail.krmhome.com ]

SUGGESTION #5: This is also a great food for potlucks! Crowd Pleaser!!!!

SUGGESTION #6: Use minature muffin pan [Pampered Chef has one of these too] and split biscuit dough in half for each cup, while doubling the number of muffins--will be popular with little fingers.



Hope You Enjoy!!!!
