Pizza Puffs

{have you ever been in the mood for a pizza, but knew ordering a pizza from the nearest card-board-box-pizza-place would be a boring... cop-out for dinner that will end up leaving you feeling sort of guilty? i have, and let me tell you, this recipe is a delicious solution to such dilemmas! puffy, yet tastes like a pizza with any topping that you want on it! all this in a simple recipe?! prepare to be amazed.}



{ingredients}
1 lb ground beef {if you like a little less meat in your sauce, use less. it does make it rather thick. or you don't have to put meat in at all, however, its not quite as good...}
1 can (150z) pizza sauce
2 cans (7.5oz) biscuit dough {the ones that blow up when you open them... they don't have to be the fancy kind either. just get what is on sale.}
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
2 c. shredded cheddar cheese {for the cheese i just use what i have. the mozzarella does make a difference, but when i made it tonight i only used 1c. and about 2 c. Monterrey Jack that i had floating around... so really, its up to you!}

{directions}
1. Preheat oven to 400
2. Brown ground beef
3. In a bowl mix the pizza sauce and the ground beef together and set aside
4. Cut the biscuits into 4 pieces and place into a greased 9x13 pan
5. Spread sauce mixture over the top of the biscuits
6. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes
7. sprinkle cheese over top {and add any other toppings you desire}
8. Bake 3-7 minutes more, or until cheese is melted.

{topping suggestions: peperoni, onion, green pepper, mushrooms, Canadian bacon, olives, pineapple, etc.}

{this recipe makes quite a bit and is rather hearty, so if there is not many eaters, expect some leftover.}
