I was pretty sure that mini pizzas could not possibly be any cuter until I met…

Hormel’s Pepperoni Minis! Are you kidding me? These are the cutest ever! When did these come out? I missed the commercial! I’ll bet it was the cutest commercial ever. Had to make some mini pizzas with these as soon as possible and with all of this French cooking I’ve been suffering through, as easy as possible! I’m considering it a mini reward.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Happened to have a tube of Pillsbury pizza dough. Perfect!

Spread the dough out on the counter and cut circles out with a cookie cutter. Ours were about 3 inches but shrank to about 2 inches as soon as we cut them so I’d probably use as big of a cookie cutter as you can to make the job easier.

After coating the cookie sheet with non-stick spray, we put some cheese on them. We? Yes, pizza draws teenagers like Cabernet draws fruit flies. Both of my kids wanted to help with this one. Where were they when I was making Pommes Normande En Belle Vue??

We placed another circle of dough over the cheese and then pressed the middle of each mini pizza down as much as possible so that the sauce would stay on the shorty baby pizzas.

We used Boboli pizza sauce. By the way, I just looked up the translation for Boboli and it means Boboli. Just in case you were wondering.

We spread the sauce out just a little.

Do you see how cute these are? OMG, I wonder what else could be made mini. Mini black olives? Mini mushrooms? The possibilities are endless!

Mega cheese on mini pizzas!

More mini pepperoni! Take ten, they’re small!

After about 15-20 minutes, these cuties came out of the oven. The great thing about mini party food is that you can try one of everything!

Happy football season to you. More football mini recipes coming soon!
