About
This recipe came into being by having my 4 kids arrive home from school at 3:30 in the afternoon absolutely ravenous. The night before we'd had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner and had leftover sauce. With the biscuits, veggies and cheese I made ultra-deep dish pizza cups. We have this once a week now...by popular demand!
