Our Review: This is a memory from my childhood when my great grandma Koppes would always have this jam on hand. Yummy on biscuits, bread, pancakes, etc.

Pizza Cups

This one came from a kids cookbook.

Pizza Cups

Ingredients:
2 cans refrigerated biscuits
1 lb. ground beef
1 jar pizza sauce
1/2 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375. Spray two muffin pans with nonstick spray. Press a biscuit evenly into muffin cups (cover bottom & sides). Chill until ready to fill.

Brown ground beef, drain. Stir in pizza sauce and heat through.

Evenly spoon beef mixture into muffin cups. Bake 15 min. 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 pan.

I served this with raw carrots/cucumbers, mandarin oranges.

Our Review: We all really liked this one. The girls said it tasted just like pizza. I think I'll try to add pepperoni pieces and black olives to it next time!
