Pizza Muffin Cups

Had a request this weekend for more things to make in the muffin pans. While this recipe is quick and easy, it's even better if you're using ground beef, turkey or sausage that you've precooked, re-bagged and froze! Just toss the already cooked ground beef in your beanpot, add spaghetti sauce and heat for about 10 minutes on power level 5 to defrost. Stir then continue to defrost in 2 - 3 increments until thawed and heated through. These cooking directions are not specific as they depend on the wattage of your microwave. If your ground beef is not precooked, follow the recipe as listed below.

1/2 lb. ground beef (ground turkey or sausage)
2 1/2 cups spaghetti sauce
1 (10 count) tube Pillsbury rolls
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Brown ground beef and drain, if needed. Add spaghetti sauce to beef and heat through. Meanwhile, separate rolls and flatten with your hands. Place rolls into sprayed muffin cups and press dough up the sides as much as possible. Spoon beef/sauce mixture evenly on top of the dough. Sprinkle each "cup" with mozzarella cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 15-18 minutes. Enjoy!
