Our girls love pizza and we have made our Homemade Mini Pizza’s at least once a week for either dinner or snack for the last month or 2. So I have been wanting to try something new but keep the pizza idea since I know the kiddos love them! So we tried Pizza Quesadilla’s!

PIZZA QUESADILLA’S

Ingredients:

• Soft Taco Shells
• Pizza Sauce
• Cheese
• Your choice of pizza toppings- we used pepperoni

Directions:

1. Throw your soft tacos in a skillet or on a griddle on medium
   
2. Add your pizza sauce, cheese and toppings
   
   
3. Fold the quesadilla in half, flip a few times until the outside is brown & crispy and the cheese and  toppings are gooing and hot! That’s it! This is a super easy recipe and very inexpensive! My kids were a little hesitant at first, they said soft taco shells are for taco’s, not pizza! But they tried it and now love it!!

Apple Sausage Stuffing

 Ingredients Needed:

• 1 medium size apple (diced)
• 1 medium size onion (minced)
• 1-2 stalks of celery (diced)
• 1 pound of sausage
• 2-3 boxes of stuffing (we just use store brand or whatever is on sale)
• 2 can of chicken broth

Directions:

• In a sauce pan add about a cup of the chicken broth and onions. Cook for 7-8 minutes on medium until onion are soft.
• Add sausage, brown sausage with onions
• Add apples and celery to sausage and onion mix, cook on medium for about 5-8 minutes or until apples and celery are soft
• Once all these ingredients are good and soft and mixed together, add your stuffing. Each box of stuffing will call for a certain amount of water to be added, I substitute the water for the chicken broth. Sometimes 2 cans of chicken broth is not enough so I will add a little water, but the chicken broth adds more flavor. So follow the instructions on the stuffing box as to how much liquid you need to add. You don’t want to add too much or your stuffing will become soggy. So slowly add the liquid until you get the correct consistency.
• Stir all ingredients together and then once you have the consistency you want, place your stuffing in a casserole dish and place in the oven for about 20-30 minutes. This will “stiffen” the stuffing up a little!

This has to be my absolute favorite dish now for holiday’s! So yummy!

We love pizza! Did I ever tell you we love pizza?!?!  Anyways, with 5 of us with different likes, finding a pizza that we all can eat becomes a battle. The hubby and our oldest will eat anything and everything on their pizza’s, myself and our youngest will eat any variation of cheese and our middle daughter only likes sausage or pepperoni! With my pickyness and the others limited likes, we tend to buy several pizza’s and have tons of leftovers. So we have recently started trying mini pizza’s! Using a muffin tin, a box of our favorite pizza crust and all the ingredients we each like, we now can have our favorite pizza anytime!

I mixed up our favorite pizza crust and put a golf ball size dough ball in each muffin section. I then popped the pizza crust in the oven for about 3 -5 minutes on 350 degrees just to get the crust a little firm.

Then add a spoonful of pizza sauce to your pizza dough.

Add your toppings over the pizza sauce, our girls wanted peperoni but the hubby wanted ham and pineapple, so we made both! Great benefit to making individual pizza’s, prepare them the way you want!

Add as much cheese as you would like, I filled the top to make sure it was completely covered.

Once you cook them for about 8-10 minutes, cheese will be completely melted! Another benefit to making individual pizza’s is that they cook pretty quick and they make great after school snacks! I have not tried to freeze them yet, since the extra’s I had intended to freeze were devoured by the kiddos! So next time I will make a few extra to see how well they do in the freezer!
