Everyone has that food that they could probably eat every day, pizza is that food for me. I love it. Thick crust, thin, coal fired and all sorts of toppings. The more the merrier. But I know it really isn’t all the healthy for me and it gets expensive! So instead of ordering pizza one night we made pizza bites.
Now just what are pizza bites? They are dip worth muffin style mini pizzas that you bake. It sounds like a ton of work but they are so easy! Thanks to Elizabeth of Food Ramblings for my Secret Recipe Club pick this month. I was browsing her list of recipes and came across pizza bites and knew I had to try them.
I happened to have all the ingredients at home and the prep time on these was less than 15 minutes. Pop them in the oven while you clean up the kitchen and you are sitting down to dinner in less than 45 minutes of prep and cooking time.
Organic marinara and some Spotted Cow beer made these even tastier!
