Equipment
- Standard muffin tin or 8 individual ½-cup foil cups
- Small Mixing Bowl
- Pastry Brush
- Fork
Ingredients
For the Seasoned Butter
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter softened
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Pinch of black pepper
For the Pizza Pot Pies
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
- 8 refrigerated biscuits 16-ounce package
- ¼ cup pizza sauce or pasta sauce
- 3 ounces pepperoni chopped
- 7-8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- Additional Italian seasoning optional
Instructions
- Make the seasoned butter: Combine the softened butter, olive oil, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- Prepare the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a standard muffin tin or eight individual foil cups.
- Shape the biscuit crusts: Separate the biscuits and press one into each muffin cup, working the dough across the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottoms and sides several times with a fork.
- Add the sauce: Brush the inside of each biscuit cup with the seasoned butter, then spread about ½ heaping teaspoon of pizza sauce inside.
- Fill the cups: Add a heaping tablespoon of mozzarella and about ½ tablespoon of chopped pepperoni to each cup. Repeat the cheese and pepperoni layers, then sprinkle with a little Italian seasoning if desired.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20–23 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Cool and serve: Let the mini pot pies cool for a few minutes, then carefully remove them from the pan and serve warm.
Notes
- Press the biscuit dough firmly against the sides of the muffin cups so it doesn't shrink back during baking.
- Avoid adding watery toppings such as fresh tomatoes or mushrooms, as they can make the biscuit crust soggy.
- If using individual foil cups, place them on a baking sheet before filling and baking.
- Cook any sausage, chicken, or other meat completely before adding it to the pot pies.
- Assemble the pot pies a few hours ahead, cover, and refrigerate until ready to bake.
