These Mini Pizza Cups are a delightful twist on traditional pizza, perfect for a quick snack or party appetizer.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Always preheat your oven to ensure even cooking.
Take the refrigerated biscuit dough and press each biscuit into the bottom and up the sides of a 12-cup muffin pan to form a cup shape. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
Chilling the dough helps it hold its shape better during baking.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the pizza sauce.
Ensure the beef is fully cooked and well mixed with the sauce for a flavorful filling.
Spoon the beef mixture evenly into the prepared biscuit cups.
Distribute the filling evenly to ensure each cup is packed with flavor.
Bake the cups in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Check the cups halfway through to ensure they are baking evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each cup and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
For a golden finish, broil the cups for the last minute of baking.
Let the cups cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Allowing the cups to cool slightly makes them easier to remove from the pan and handle.
