Expert Tips

If you can’t find mini pepperoni slices, purchase larger ones, and cut them into fourths to fit in the muffin cups.

I made these for the first time last night. I used biscuits instead of the crescent rolls. Just put the flaky biscuit on top of the opening and pressed it in. Hubby loved them so much and I had extra goop from last night that tonight we are trying with the crescent rolls....It's gonna be a staple around here for a while

These are a BIG hit in my house!! I take 2 of the crescents and roll them together in a ball. Then, I press it into the pan. They come out much bigger and more filling. I top generously with 6 blend italian cheese as well. These are great for lunch boxes or picnics! You can't go wrong with these!

These were super yummy and super easy. Def keeping this recipe handy. I loved it. I will mention they say you can pop them right in your mouth which hubby tried to do and almost burned his mouth! Those puppies are hot in the middle!

Made these baby's for the first time, hampered by my lack of cooking skill/desire and wife's refusal to eat "the other white meat". So, I used turkey pepperoni and some leftover lean ground beef. The hardest part was figuring out a good way to fold the dough triangles to best fit into the cupcake pan (a diagram would have helped!), but it was not impossible...and they came out great! If she (who knows all) doesn't take at least one to work for lunch tomorrow, I'll be surprised. They were really excellent, IMO.
