Pizza Cups

Ok, so it is the end of summer, kiddos are starting back to school and us HOT MOMS need a well deserved week at a SPA.....
In case you aren't packed for a trip to the Spa....Here is a nice recipe that will give you a little extra time to relax and catch up on a trashy magazine, picking your toes or whatever else you enjoy doing with your 12 seconds of free time as a M O M !

Let's start with an easy/kid friendly meal that the whole family will enjoy.

INGREDIENTS: (oh yeah, 4 WHOLE ingredients, it's rocket science I tell ya)
Ground Meat (Turkey or Sirloin)
Small Jar of Spaghetti Sauce
1 Large can of REDUCED FAT plain biscuits
2 cups of shredded cheese

DIRECTIONS: (hang on to your hat, this one is gonna be a doozie)
  • Preheat the oven : BAKE 350.
  • Lightly (psst, really, LIGHTLY) grease a muffin pan.
  • Press down one biscuit in each muffin cup and smooth biscuit around the sides (you are making pizza cups, hence, the biscuit being the cup)
  • Brown your meat in a skillet. Add Spaghetti sauce and stir, season to taste.
  • Put the meat mix into the biscuit cups.
  • Bake according to the biscuit directions (ok, if you threw the directions in the trash, and if they were Pillsbury, you tossed the box tops -HOWEVER- in case you trashed them....bake at 350 for 13-17 minutes, genius)
  • Remove the pizza cups from the oven 5 minutes before they are done and sprinkle them with the shredded cheese, return to the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Cool and serve with a light Caesar salad, add some carrots, avocado, diced tomatoes and your family will call the Food Network, you have talent!
  • For that matter, throw some pull apart and bake cookies in the oven, it is already waiting for you at the desired temperature.

Now, you've got mostly healthy pizza cups, a nice hearty salad and dessert. Yes, you are Martha Stewart, take a bow, just remember to pay your taxes!
