Mini Pizzas in a Muffin Tin
I created this snack recipe or sometimes an appetizer for Muffin Tin Pizzas when one of the editors for Taste of Home Magazine asked me to get creative with muffin tins. That week, I made a chicken pot pie in a muffin tin, tacos in a muffin tin, and these pizzas in a muffin tin. The pizzas were a shoo-in and were published immediately. The tacos and chicken pot pie were published later in Taste of Home cookbooks.
Finger foods like these sweet potatoes wrapped in bacon and these muffin tin pizzas are as much fun as they are delicious.
These would make such amazing finger foods, and a great meal for the kids. My kids like to create their own. This is a great recipe to let them get creative in the kitchen with you.
