Peppy Pizza Pie Recipes

PEPPY PIZZA PIES

Steps:

• 1. For the biscuits: whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the butter and shortening, and with your fingers, munch it in the flour until its nicely disbursed. Add the buttermilk and mix with spoon until just combined. Turn out on a floured surface. Turn a few times, kneading lightly.
• 2. Roll out to a 1/4 inch round. Using a cookie cutter, cut out twelve circles. Oil a 12 cup cupcake pan and place a circle in each, pressing down lightly.
• 3. Saute the onions, green peppers and mushrooms in a bit of oil until mostly done.
• 4. Place a tsp of sauce in the center of each dough circle. Place one pepperoni slice on top of each. Top with a tsp of the toppings.Finish with a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella.
• 5. Place in a preheated 375 oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the rims of the biscuits are lightly browned.
• 6. Obviously the toppings are up to you. You could also do a mexican flavored filling. Or use sausage instead of pepperoni. Easy to double or triple of course if you are having a crowd.

RIDICULOUSLY EASY CHICAGO-STYLE PIZZA PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Bake the pie crust according to your package's directions. I usually prick the bottom and sides of the crust all over with a fork and bake it for 10 minutes, or until it becomes slightly golden. Remove, and set aside.
• Brown the sausage for about 5 minutes in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked and the onions are soft and translucent. Drain of any excess fat. (You can add salt & pepper at this point depending on how salty/spicy your sausage is- I usually don't).
• Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan on the bottom of your pie crust. Top the cheese with the sausage mixture, and spread it out evenly. Next, spread the pizza sauce over the top, making sure the filling is completely covered. Finally, you can sprinkle the Italian seasoning and grated cheese on top, if you wish.
• Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
