Servings 12 Pizza Cups
Calories 49kcal
Ingredients
- 4-5 Frozen Tater Tots per muffin cavity; approximately 48-60
- 1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- ¾ Cup Pizza Sauce or Marinara Sauce
- 12 Slices Pepperoni
- 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
- Fresh Basil chopped; for garnishing
Instructions
- To make these pizza cups, start by preheating your oven to 425 F.
- Next, take 4-5 of the tater tots and place them into the cavity of a muffin tin. Repeat until all of the cavities are filled with tots!
- Then, place the muffin tray full of tots into the oven for 11 minutes.
- Once the 11 minutes are up, remove the tray from the oven and use the back of a spoon or a shot glass to press down the tater tots, making an indentation in each one. This is how the tots will hold the filling!
- Add the shredded mozzarella cheese to the tots, followed by the pizza sauce, another layer of cheese, pepperoni, and then Italian seasoning.
- Then, place the tray back into the oven and allow the pizza cups to bake for 10 more minutes, until the tater tots are golden and crunchy and the cheese has melted.
- Once they're done, remove them from the oven.
- Allow the cups to cool for 15 minutes, so that the tots set and stick together.
- Garnish with fresh chopped basil, then serve and enjoy!
