I just baked these mini pizzas and the kids are already demanding more. The no-cook pizza sauce and refrigerated dough make this meal a snap. —Melissa Haines, Valparaiso, Indiana

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated thin pizza crust
  • 1-1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • OPTIONAL TOPPINGS:
  • Pepperoni, olives, sausage, onion, green pepper, Canadian bacon, pineapple, tomatoes, fresh basil and crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a small bowl, mix first 6 ingredients.
  2. Unroll pizza dough; cut into 16 squares. Press squares onto bottoms and up sides of 16 ungreased muffin cups, allowing corners to hang over edges.
