Jessica'S Baby Pizzas
Jessica's Baby Pizzas are fun, customizable mini pizzas perfect for kids or casual gatherings, featuring a variety of toppings on biscuit bases with savory sauces and cheeses.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mash canned biscuits flat on a cookie sheet.
- Spread spaghetti sauce over each biscuit.
- Top with a variety of toppings from the list, using any or all.
- Put in the oven and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a quicker version, you can use store-bought pizza sauce instead of spaghetti sauce. Feel free to customize toppings based on your preferences; you can substitute ground turkey for the beef or add veggies like mushrooms and spinach. To enhance flavor, sprinkle some Italian seasoning or garlic powder over the sauce before adding toppings. This recipe is versatile and can adapt to different tastes, similar to a Denver Omelette.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these baby pizzas with a side salad or some crunchy vegetable sticks for a well-rounded meal. They make great appetizers for parties or game days and can be paired with dips like ranch or marinara. For a heartier option, serve alongside a classic 'Best Ever' Meatballs And Gravy for a satisfying spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover baby pizzas in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for about 30 seconds, but the crust may not stay as crispy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the dough from scratch instead of using canned biscuits?
Absolutely! You can make a simple pizza dough from scratch using flour, yeast, water, and salt. Just ensure it's rolled flat and baked properly. This homemade dough can add a personal touch and can be tailored to your liking.
What can I do if I don't have some of the toppings?
No worries! This recipe is very flexible. You can use any toppings you have on hand, such as shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, or cooked vegetables. This adaptability makes it a fun dish to experiment with, just like creating your own version of Texas Hash.
How do I make these pizzas vegetarian?
To make the baby pizzas vegetarian, simply omit the ground beef and pepperoni. Use extra veggies such as mushrooms, zucchini, or artichokes as toppings. You can also add more cheese or use a meat substitute to keep the dish hearty and satisfying.
