Cheesy Pizza Meatball Cups

 

1 lb. Ground Beef

1 C of Crushed Crackers like Saltines

1 C Powdered Parmesan Cheese

2 T of Dried Parsley

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp. Pepper

1 Ts Garlic Powder

1/2 C Minced Onion

1 Ts Onion Powder

1 Tube of Pillsbury pizza dough

1 Cs of Pizza Sauce or Marinara

Dried parsley for garnish

 

Combine Beef with all the ingredients except the marinara and the potato dumplings. Mix all the ingredients in the beef and form into 1 1/2 inch meatballs. You need 12. Roll the pizza dough out and carefully use a cookie cutter or glass to cut 3 inch circles, you can also just cut squares if you don’t mind the look. You will need 12 rounds. Spray a muffin pan with non stick spray and place a dumpling round into individual cups. Press the dough down and up the sides of the muffin tin spots. Place a meatball into each of the dough cups and put about 1 T of pizza sauce into each cup. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and top with more sauce, ricotta, parmesan or mozzarella cheese can also be added to the top. Sprinkle with dried parsley.
