Mini Pizza Pot Pies (Printable Version)

Cheesy pepperoni-filled biscuit cups combining classic pizza flavors in individual servings - perfect for snacks or parties.

# Ingredients:

→ Base

01 - 1 package (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuits (8 count)
02 - ¼ cup pasta sauce or pizza sauce, meatless variety

→ Filling

03 - 3 ounces pepperoni, chopped
04 - 7-8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Seasoned Butter

05 - 1 tablespoon butter, softened (not melted)
06 - ½ tablespoon olive oil
07 - ¼ teaspoon salt
08 - ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
09 - ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning, plus extra for topping (optional)
10 - Pinch of black pepper
11 - Cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tins

# Steps:

01 - Combine the softened butter, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to create a uniform mixture.
02 - Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat a muffin pan with cooking spray, dabbing away excess oil with paper towel.
03 - Place biscuits in muffin tin cavities and press gently to mold them against the bottom and sides. Prick the biscuits several times on bottoms and sides with a fork to prevent bubbling.
04 - Brush the inside of each biscuit cup with the prepared butter mixture, then spread lightly with pasta sauce (about ½ heaping teaspoon per cup).
05 - Fill each cup with 1 heaping tablespoon of mozzarella cheese, followed by ½ heaping tablespoon of chopped pepperoni. Repeat these layers and sprinkle with additional Italian seasoning if desired.
06 - Bake for 20-23 minutes or until edges are golden brown and cheese is completely melted. Rotate pan halfway through baking time if needed for even browning.
07 - Gently remove pot pies from the muffin pan using a knife or small spatula if needed. Transfer to a serving plate or platter and serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - Check doneness after 15-18 minutes, especially if your oven runs hot.
02 - Individual foil muffin cups placed on a baking sheet can be used instead of a muffin tin.
03 - Rotating the pan halfway through baking ensures even browning on all sides.
